I cried at the ending...

Yes... I know it's fortnite. I know we may have some mixed feelings about the game. But we can all admit, that this is gaming at it's core. Helping others out and teamwork, whether or not you actually are on the same team.

This clip summerizes it all for me, my entire life gaming, I was looking for this moment, and it has been found. (Not by me) I hope I am allowed to post twitter links here.

Here is a quote from the player stuck in his Reddit post

Quote

I'm Chappadoodle, the player who Muselk recent attempted to rescue, key word being attempted. If you're questioning whether i'm the Chappadoodle featured within the video, i've got confirmation within my Epic Games bio.

Given the popularity of the clip I figured it would be fitting if I explained the situation from my perspective and how I died during the rescue attempt; unfortunately due to today's update the I can not provide footage of the replay.

During a game of Fortnite I was attempting to secure high ground during a fight, although before I could secure my desired location my stairs were shot out resulting in me falling off the map. Fortunately I managed to slide most of the distance thus surviving, unfortunately I'd found myself on a ledge outside of the maps build limit, meaning I was trapped. Being trapped I resorted to the pity of others, continuously firing my weapons as to alert players to my location. This eventually alerted a friendly player to my location, a possible Savior, to my dismay this player was eliminated. Fortunately their murderer realizing my situation spared me and decided to rescue me, unbeknownst to me this would result in my death. The rescue was underway and the newest candidate for my rescue was descending towards me. Unfortunately it was quickly made apparent to my Savior that due to the build limit it was impossible to build stairs entirely to me, solution, golf cart! Moment later a golf cart is rapidly plummeting towards me, when it dawns upon me, it's possible this golf cart roles off the ledge into the ocean, killing my Savior and dooming any chance of rescue in the process. Without hesitation I put myself in between the golf cart and the ocean acting as a buffer I prevent any possibility of the golf cart sliding off the map. Unfortunately I forgot about the knock back I was receive on impact, moments from rescue i'm knocked into the ocean, instantly eliminating me. I'm then met with the realization that the player who's spent their entire match attempting to rescue me only to accidentally eliminate me due to my own stupidity is Muselk.

Well one botched rescue attempt later, we're here. I'm hugely appreciative of the response to my death, even if I didn't contribute to it's popularity.
