Just wondering, why doesn't UCI invest into the Fortnite Competitive scene?

[@alextsro118]

It’s been a year since you asked but think about it like this: Battle Royale games, not just Fortnite alone, cannot be a university esport simply because of the amount of players it takes and needs for a regular match to occur. Take Fortnite for example. The max amount of players is 100 players. There are 264 universities in California but not all of them are as invested into esports as UCI is. In other words, there are 264 universities but only a handful will actually have an esports team. Games like Overwatch and League of Legends are invested because they, like Fortnite, are popular BUT it’s more accessible as a university level esport scene. A university level esports match of League of Legends requires at the very least 10 players and two universities, whereas Fortnite you would need to find 99 players from 99 different universities each with their own esports team. Are there people who play Fortnite at each of the different 264 universities? Most likely. But chances are they’ll never have the opportunity to do so because their university might not have a big esports scene.
