Spectating in Fortnite converts any downtime into a learning experience where you can observe strategies, support teammates, and enjoy the action without getting caught in the chaos. Learn about these two main spectating methods, whether you’re just waiting between matches or coaching your fellow players, to enhance your experience.
How to Spectate in Fortnite?
The most easily accessible method of spectating turns on automatically once you’ve been eliminated during a match in Fortnite. Instead of returning to the lobby, click the Spectate button to transition seamlessly into observer mode. This method gives you full access to watch multiple remaining players. Use the Next Player and Previous Player controls to cycle through different competitors, observing their loadouts, resources, and tactical decision-making in real time. This method works across all game modes, including Battle Royale and Zero Build, making it perfect for studying high-level gameplay and learning winning strategies.
To make things easier, lobby spectate lets you spectate friends without eliminating them. All you have to do is join your friend’s party, wait for them to queue into an active match, and within about 30 seconds, a Watch Game button will appear. Unlike elimination spectate, this only allows you to watch your friend and cannot switch to other players. This prevents any advantage, such as telling your teammate the enemy’s position in the game.
Beyond pure entertainment, spectating actually has practical uses. Observe how professional players make rotations, manage their materials, and perform their builds. Coordinate with your squad by pinging landmarks and spotting enemies; contribute to verbal callouts that directly impact the match outcome. All these will translate into tangible skill improvement for your own gameplay.

BIG Clan is the winner of Skyesports Chennai Esports Global Championship 2025, beating the French side Mousquetaires with a 3-1 scoreline. Having struggled to perform at events in recent times, this marks their first trophy since 2022. It goes without saying that BIG was the favorite coming into the CEGC CS2 event, but to remain this dominant with a plethora of talented teams goes to show that they belong to a tier above.
They came. They saw. They conquered Chennai. From the first whistle to the final clutch — what a story. Congratulations, Team BIG. History made. ✨#CEGC#CS2pic.twitter.com/6x6yw5mo7K
Pistol wins from the Mousquetaires put them to a good start before BIG converted their force buy in the following round. BIG managed to put that to good use and garner a considerable lead before the French side once again put together a streak of rounds to go ahead. The final three rounds of the map went in favor of BIG as the Germans closed the first half with a narrow lead of 7-5. They extended their lead further with a streak of 4 rounds to start their offense, upon which they hit map point, having lost only one round in the second half. Mousquetaires won a few more rounds before BIG pushed it over the line to take the first map in the series. Having found a resurgence in form, JDC dropped a banger of a performance with 22 kills and 1.56 IR to give BIG an early lead.
Map 2: Overpass; (Pick: BIG; Winner: BIG)
Mousquetaires’ first round came after winning the force buy, which put BIG on the back foot. Winning 5 rounds in a row, BIG stopped the French from amassing a massive lead on their defense and hit back with a streak of their own, and therefore closed the first half with a similar scoreline from Dust2. Starting their defense with a 7-5 lead, BIG managed to convert a force buy after losing the pistol round. For the remainder of the half, BIG remained undefeated until they hit map point. Having won 12 rounds, they lost one more before winning Overpass and hitting the map point. Coming in with a masterclass, 22 kills from JDC put BIG just one map away from the trophy.
Mousquetaires got off to a head start with a pistol-round win on the T-side of Overpass, but the rest of the half was pretty evenly contested. Both teams managed to put six rounds on the board as they headed to the second half of the third map. Switching sides, Mousquetaires picked up the CT-side pistol as well to regain the lead. Despite relentless pressure from BIG, they managed to edge out a narrow 13-11 victory on Overpass, keeping their hopes alive in the series.
Map 4: Train (Pick: BIG, Winner: BIG)
Despite winning the pistol round once again and taking an early 2-0 lead on the CT side, Mousquetaires failed to maintain their momentum and eventually succumbed to BIG’s T-side tactics. The teams headed to the second half with an 8-4 lead for BIG. Mousquetaires managed to narrow the gap to 8-7 after claiming the second pistol round as well, but BIG quickly regained control and closed out the map 13-8 to seal their victory.
With this victory, BIG lifted the trophy at the Skyesports CEGC 2025 CS2 event and took home a whopping 30,000 USD in first-place prize money. Mousquetaires conclude their impressive run with a second-place finish, taking home 15,000 USD in prize money.

BGMI New Update 4.1: New Map Locations, Game Mode, Weapons, and More
New Map Locations and Events
The map is getting updated with a new hot-drop zone called Penguin Town, where players can camp at a Penguin Statue or loot a Mansion. This area features a special crate that, once the timer runs out, triggers a drop and a celebration. Additionally, the Snow Festival event is coming to the Erangel map.
New Game Mode: Metro Royale
A significant new feature is the launch of the Metro Royale Survival Mode. In this mode, players will encounter AI enemies and Elite Bosses, as well as high-risk zones. The main goal is to collect valuable loot and successfully extract it from the area before you are eliminated.
New Weapons and Items
Players can look forward to new items to use in battle. This includes a Fish Rocket Launcher for damaging enemies and a Snowboard that can make your opponents slip on the ice. For healing and speed, there is a new item called the Blue Fin Tuna Syringe, which increases health and allows for faster movement.

The update makes looting easier, allowing players to pick up items from crates and even move trucks without difficulty. A new Royal Pass is available, offering fresh clothes, skins, and emotes. The update also mentions the arrival of ‘crazy supercars’ and a new ‘Ruhani Voice Pack’ for solo players.
BGMI New 4.1 Update: New Rozhok Watercity

FURIA is going to the Grand Finals of IEM Chengdu 2025, beating Falcons with a 2-0 scoreline and setting up a shot at the trophy against the World Number 1 in Vitality. Having won the Thunderpick World Championship, their recent run of form has turned them into true contenders for the trophy.
Total domination to begin the game, FURIA manhandled the Falcons’ defense, who failed to get into any rhythm. The poor start to the offense cost m0NESY and co. They managed no more than 2 rounds in the first half. Falcons pulled in 2 rounds to reduce the deficit, but a comeback was far from being a possibility given the mountain of a lead FURIA gathered on their defense. FURIA got back on the board with the first gun round to close the half with a 13-5 scoreline.
Map 2: Mirage; Pick: Falcons; Winner: FURIA
3-0 start for Falcons got them an early lead, something they have missed in the previous map. While the Falcons remained dominant, FURIA pulled rounds to remain competitive in the second half. Having got into a lead before switching sides, Falcon’s defense failed to secure an early lead that FURIA were quick to capitalise on, leading to FURIA going into the lead and FALCONS having to make a comeback from a deficit. Falcons almost pushed it to overtime with the final round of the series coming to a 1v1 that went the way of the Brazilians to close the series with a 2-0 scoreline.
Despite not losing a single map up until this point, the Falcons’ performance against FURIA has been nothing short of shocking. From poor teamplay to improper decision-making, the Falcons’ troubles continue, and with the Major coming, it seems like NiKo’s wait will continue a little longer.
