Esports Frenzy
New skins often create a buzz among players, causing a slight surge in the player count as gamers rush to see and flaunt their new swag. This usually leads to quicker queue times and lively matches! However, just a heads up – while rocking the new skin is cool, it doesn’t give you any competitive edge. Players will still need to rely on their skills, such as those trick shots and fast building abilities, to triumph!
