Fortnite should seriously consider making coaching official for the 2027
We already see coaches in calls with players during online FNCS and other tournaments helping them review games make strats and improve
So why not bring that to LANs?
Let coaches sit behind their players and communicate with them during the game, just like we see in CS - R6 - Rocket League and ETC…
Coaching is already a huge part of competitive Fortnite Making it official could give more great players a way to make a living and make a comeback to the Fortnite scene while also helping upcoming players improve and adding another layer to LANs
I genuinely think this could be a huge change for Competitive Fortnite
@FNCompetitive please consider it for 2027 ❤️🙏🏻
