How to go far in a Fortnite 1v1 LAN tournament
A 1v1 at a LAN is not a 1v1 in your bedroom: new hardware, noise, people behind you. What makes the difference:
- Bring your settings. Write down your sensitivity, DPI and keybinds. If you can, bring your own mouse and headset.
- A real warm-up. 15 minutes of aim and edits before check-in. Our routine: Fortnite warm-up to improve your aim.
- Box fighting. In a 1v1, most rounds are won up close: walls, edits and high ground.
