Fortnite starts Champion Series championship amid complaints with BRUTE (GROSS)

This weekend we saw the start of the Champion Series, a championship dedicated to the game Fortnite, developed by Epic Games. This tournament is being the first with the possibility of using the news brought by the newest season of the title (Season X or tenth season), but complaints have arisen due to the addition of the BRUTE (or BRUT) mecha (robot).

BRUTE has been appearing in several new season promotional images taken by Epic Games for the game's tenth season, becoming one of the main highlights of the new update. The machine consists of a robot that can be piloted to give greater power to the user in the middle of a battle, being possible to move with great agility and cause great damage at the same time. The big problem is that the mecha is simply able to subtract the player's health from 200 to zero instantly.

To make life even more difficult for the participants in the battle, the robot has a life of 1000 points (5x greater than the life of regular player characters). Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, a famous streamer popularly known for playing Battle Royale Fortine, who recently switched from the Twitch streaming platform to Mixer, said he would not open the game further until Epic Games did something about BRUTE.

• Minimum requirements to play PUBG on PC

Epic Games, after the complaints, made small changes, where the frequency that the robot appears and the way it performs the attacks was changed, making them more predictable. However, even after the changes, players continue to complain about the presence of the mecha (using the hashtag #removethemach on the social network Twitter).
