The Worst Thing to Happen to Fortnite Cash Cups - The Wkey Origins 

Prime Unknown was the most dominant and consistent pro other than Tayson. He is the reason the point system has completely changed in tourneys.

Unknown finally getting recognition for litterally making w keying and piece control popular. One of the goats. Yall can say he was carried by aim assist but he was one of the smartest fighters ever. He's proved it on kbm and controller.

UnknownArmy was probably the scariest W-Keyer since prime Daequan tbh

another reiss video, another banger. the man doesn't miss. i genuinely forget how dominant unknown was, i think he was the first player I saw use piece control (from a balla vod review) and i was like wait... you can do that?

man i miss unknown, watching him was so freaking entertaining.

it's crazy how unknown was already making piece control plays back in season 1

This style of video is really interesting to watch Reiss. A guy that knows what he's talking about discussing an interesting topic is a good watch. Keep it up 💯

it's so entertaining to watch unknown completely DESTROY people while you talk lol

I miss watching Unknown 😔

Reiss just makes everyone's day better

I can tell this is gunna be a goated video before I watch it

I’ve been watching you for a month now, and I’ve recommended a few friends to your channel. Keep up the good work from NAE 🙏🏽

This is the last period of the game I was familiar with before I quit. It’s nice to hear about it again, great video!

Your content is actually built different man, props to you

prime unknown = best prime of any player because he was winning everything and creating the meta

you know it’s a good day when ReissHub uploads 😍😍

ahhhh this video brought me back to when i used to place, ily reiss.

6:45 Better solution: re-introduction of (nerfed!) Spike Traps to prevent brainless box-hopping barrel-stuffing. Of course there would need to be adjustments, like a damage nerf to 100 or even 75 and a cap of like 3 per person aswell as a deactivation function when the person who placed them gets knocked/eliminated. But my God, I miss Traps so much.

these vids are SO entertaining to watch PLS make more like these

Thank you for talking about the skill gap and the reasons everyone is good at fighting even in pubs reasonably.

God imagine borderline hacking and getting away with it

As someone who has been keeping up with the community since the Summer scrimmages days, and being a unknonarmy fan. This was so much fun to watch. This for giving a more accurate representation of that history. I really started watching Unknown after world cup. He got so much hate at the time. For being the figure head for W-keying and controller players in general. Reddit and twitter talk shit about him. A lot of pros did not acknowledge his dominants. Saying that winning cash cup did not prove anything. It was weird to see those same pros flexing on twitter after a cash cup win.

Have to say I enjoy your analysis Reiss!

I just love these vids

2:58 "I'm feeling a little aim assist in my bones"

Unknowns prime is better than any other pro’s prime so far, it’s probably going to take a lot for someone to top how dominant unknown was . People say it was just aim assist but I also seen some of the best mechanical plays at the time aswell from him , and plus he also destroyed people on kbm at the time aswell . He was overall determined back then, he used to be on every day grinding arena , creative, tourneys, and edit courses . I also believe The reason why he fell off Isn’t because of the aim assist nerf, but it was because he stopped grinding as hard. During ch2 s3 and after he did not grind as much as he did before

love the vids man

It’s crazy how OP aim assist was back then…

Only a few people knew he was using Zen SMH 🤦🏼‍♂️

Reiss videos are the best

reisshub slowly getting bigger, I like!

Unknown is literally a fortnite legend

Peace ! Thanks for the vid =)

This video remind me off, i get to this game too late, how bad i am and how much i miss chapter 1 bc we all were bad

Unknown was to Fortnite chapter 2 what Zexrow was to Chapter 1. A complete change in the placement meta and instead focusing in wkeying. (Zexrow started to wkeying when the meta was basically tunneling for example the Liquid boys)

Really interesting!

Amazing videos

Unknown definitely changed the scene

I'm so glad that I bought Stw before that dark time, before mid chapter 2 season 1.

The box fight era was so entertaining for a good 2 months

Bro the old fortnite hit different 🥺

unknown was crazy

love it

Personally I think it's far more fun to w key instead of sitting in a cone slowly getting points

2 round cash cups were the worst tournaments ive ever played

Just want to add that Bugha proved if you work hard, you can be a world champion, Raider proved that if you work harder you can be better than a world champion. This has just pushed the level. Keen to see the next gen kids who will trick shot for a VR. Oh wait that's already happening :)

Very interesting

I won't hear a bad word against Unknown. He's one of the best regardless of aim assist

unknown was different back then

That the problem with fortnite today and why arena is so irritating because basically it becomes a w-key fest like a lot of people don’t think about rotation anymore they just want to spray into a box because its a more fun play style

I actually loved the w key meta. The only time i watched competitive a good amount. Tired of watching people sit in boxes until 4th circle.

They should bring back daily cash cups and conterder cash cup those were stacked wth money and so fun in my region

I love hoe reiss correctly predicted how to make solo cups stacked and it worked

yet arena format is now even more w-key heavy

unknown probably most likely used zen

Hey Reisshub, thoughts on Chapter 2 Season 2 Tactical Shotgun? (Legendary: 87/174)

I miss unknown

imo only person that was more dominant in cash cups was prime mitr0 before World Cup, he would top 1 in eu and then hop over to na east and get first there as well it happened at least 3 times

I liked these cash cups more

The point system is sadly more focused on placement now as kill are only worth 1 point while a victory is like 40. Plus all of the points gained from 2nd, 3rd, 5th, etc. People would abuse the point system when it had 4 points per kill and they would die at the beginning of their first match or 2 and they would be put in bot lobbies. They would then destroy the entire game and get tons of kills. People who did this would typically get first having only played a few matches. Compared to the other people who played it normally.

everyone says aim assist yet unknown was the only controller player to dominate before season 2

Already gonna be a great video before watching

i hate the w-keyers in eu. Everybody think if they 50/50 you every time they play like vadeal and noahreyli but they are wrong. Vadeal w-keys smart and they are just going in without thinking. Thats what destroys eu for me.

6:20 marzz_ow in the killchat

I sometimes think about this... How many "top" controller player would be bad if they had no aim assist

Should've been called forward stick origins

I think unknown was the most dominant player off all time lol the only thing even comparable was when tfue was on top in earlier fortnite😂unknown was in his own bracket for a while

NOOOOOO, how could you skip over the fact that unknown had a 100-0 boxfight record with aim assist TURNED OFF. like thats the best part of the history on the wkey king himself.

He was just one of the only players to use a zen at the time….

Controller was so op yet i didnt think so just cause i played on it

one of these clips is him killing one of my fav steamers from that time

I got place 40 in the solo cash cup and I was terrible 😂

Jesus how could anyone look at those clips and genuinely think aim assist was balanced. the players who were able to wield aim assist were a force to be reckoned with.

Daequan og w key 🗝️

this aged like spoiled milk lmfao

Ye the pros still do be dropping 50 bombs in cc & fncs tho 😶

its crazy that this guy is getting recognition and not being exposed for being a cheater, this man literally lied to his community asking what even is a zen i dont know what that is, then few moments later pulls his zen out and says its not even plugged in what you guys talking about. (obviously he wouldnt be cheating in pubs he'd use it for tournys) but its crazy that this man is earning so much money and clout for hacking, might go buy myself a zen and call myself blessed.

Yep this just ruined arena cash cups basically anything on the competitive tab

2:55 images that you can hear

LMAo

0:04 well you cant really hear a sight...

He used a ZEN.

im sorry but how do u w key on controller, there is no w key on a controller

And this is when fortnite truly went downhill everyone became a sweat and now the game is barely enjoyable

didnt unknown use zen?

Unknown was zenning though

Would it not be decreasing the skill gap because the bad players are getting better and therefore decreasing the gap to pros

Back then aim assist was more like soft aim. Glad I played on a controller back then.

I think Mitro was the first pro who made wkey popular.

its amazing how we all thought he was good then we see he just using zen

barry bonds. lance armstrong. unknown army.

People still complain about aim assist 🤣

almost every controller pro uses a zen

They need to cap kills

clip at 2:44 hes on kbm while making points about aim assist lol

This is basically normal for NA west.

Bro I remember all my friends saying get good aim assist aint that bad and when i switched to controller i shit on them the first week with basically only aim

I hate how fortnite thought having aim assist this strong was acceptable at all
