Hi, thanks for reaching out.

We spotted Alex's line, but luckily, it's OK. Fortnite launched in mid-2017 but admittedly did not take off for a little while. However, it took off around late 2017/early 2018, so we would just have to assume that Alex was one of the earlier people to get into it, which isn't a big problem when he's a big gamer. Searching with a limit of results from before the end of 2017, several big YouTubers were already uploading videos for Fortnite by December, so it's reasonably OK.

There is a lot of evidence placing it in 2017, if you look at the reference here. That reference is slightly outdated with Season 2 but mostly still stands, and there's also new evidence with Season 2 for it being December 2017-January 2018 rather than December 2018-January 2019, such as Jeph Loeb specifically saying that every season of MCU TV released between Infinity War and Endgame is set before Infinity War, and Infinity War being set in Spring 2018.

But yes, there's a lot of evidence for December 2017-January 2018, not much for December 2018-January 2019, and I don't think the Fortnite line is enough to change that because it works well enough in December 2017.

As for a time jump, I'm not sure. Season 2 does end with the suggestion that Season 3 would have to be set straight after, but it would start to get a bit weird if they're lagging in the timeline almost 2 years behind real time by the time Season 3 comes out. Maybe it will start right after but have some sort of jump during the season or just span a lot of time to gain some ground.

Thank you for your compliments, it's really encouraging whenever we hear about how people find the timeline useful and use it to refer to!
