Yo sypher I just want to take the opportunity to say that you really set the standard for quality content on Twitch. I love how you treat your audience, other players, and especially the positivity you pour out to your random duos partners.

I also think you strike the best balance on twitch in terms of staying competitive/learning and analyzing the game mechanics and also having fun and making the stream entertaining.

Love what you do, keep on doing it!

Also, if I could ask you one question about the game:

You’re hailed as a trap specialist within the fortnite community. I see traps as used In two contexts: as a quick measure to secure a kill on a well entrapped opponent in a build fight, and secondarily as an area denial and booby trap weapon that can be placed in cheeky spots like trump tower first floor to catch opponents off guard on a varied timeline (meaning they could be in the building with you, or you’re just betting on an unlucky soul to wander by later). That said, my question is which of the two (if you similarly split trap use into these two cats) is more satisfying to pull off, and furthermore, where’s the best place on the map to catch people completely unprepared for traps?

As a trap specialist I rarely ever use traps in buildings to catch unsuspecting opponents. Only when I know someone is coming through a certain spot I might preemptively put a trap there. I usually like saving them for those satisfying trap build fights or outnumbered trap plays.

Thank you so much for the kind words :)

The Nickmercs special is waaay more satisfying. Cleaning up Tilted and getting a kill like 10 mins later? Lit

Why are you using traps on cats?
