In conclusion, the $5 million prize pool has been diligently spread out evenly across the regions and platforms. The Fortnite FNCS Chapter 2 – Season 3
Yesterday, LG announced that they will be adding australian fortnite star Elliott ‘Muselk’ Watkins to their fortnite lineup. Here is their announcement:
As you can see, in their announcement, Luminosity describe Muselk as the god of Fortnite. This is because during the 2019 Fortnite World Cup, Muselk managed to get an astounding result by placing 29th and grabbing $20,000 USD in prize money. He is without a doubt one of the best Fortnite esports has to offer, and it will be very exciting to see him compete under the Luminosity banner. And by the looks of it, he seems very confident in his future with LG:
Yo epic hand us the World Cup trophy RN. Now there’s no way we can lose.
This was not the only announcement that Luminosity was planning to release. Sommerset, Eclipse, Slacks, Keys and Jamper will be alongside Muselk as they have also been signed to Luminosity.
We’ve got a TON of Fortnite wins in the future with these new additions to the #LGLOYAL fam. 😎
Earlier in 2020, their main fortnite professional players: Formula, Kiwiz, Randumb, and Nicks decided to part ways with Luminosity in order for them to create their very own esports organisation known as 1 percent. This meant that Luminosity had to rebuild their entire roster with new players that are eager to win championships and represent LG.

Making the most of the online environment, the event organizer of DreamHack has just revealed a new tournament series for the title of Fortnite. Following the events of DreamHack Winter and Anahaeim, the DreamHack Opening Featuring Fortnite looks to occupy the community this summer leading up all the way to January of next year!
Set to kick off on July 17-26, the event will be catering to the regions of EU, NA West and NA East in terms of Fortnite servers. While technically the prize pool sits at a grand total of $1.75 million, this will be awarded in increments of $250,000 at the end of each month. The following is the official format:

Everything starts rolling at the Kickoff Event, hosting two open qualifiers where out of 500 players, 100 will reach the grand finals and here, through heats, one can fight to earn the majority of the prize pool at hand. All the action of the DreamHack Opening Featuring Fortnite will be streamed on Twitch accordingly and broadcasted professionally.
Finally, since its release a couple years
back, an official in-game ranked play system is being implemented under the
name of Arena Mode once again. This
is potentially an encouraging step forward for the competitive scene which is
already on the back foot – hopefully Epic Games develops it instead of
utilizing it as an open bracket only. Read on for all the details!
This is actually returning to the game from
last year, when it was used as a platform for players to qualify for the 2019 Fortnite World Cup which will not
be taking place this year unfortunately. Instead, it will now be used to obtain
positions in other events later on in the year. Arena mode this year will keep
most of the past features while implementing new ones.
Solos, Duos and Trios
From Open League, Division One – one can rank up to Division 10,
Champion Division III
Points, or Hype points, determined by eliminations and placement
This is it – players once again have a
chance to prove their worth online and make a name for themselves through a
potential new career. Until now, FNCS
events and potential Fortnite World
Cup Online Qualifiers are what seem to be on the line apart from the weekly
Cash Cups.
Do bear in mind the material rules, the
in-game mechanics unique to Arena Mode such as Siphon and other regulations making their way to the new season.

The question most people have on their mind
is – is it worth grinding Arena Mode? Due to the cancellation of this year’s
world cup and with the popularity of other titles at the moment, such as
Valorant and Call of Duty: Warzone, the community
might be tempted to look for greener pastures.
Also, a recent update from Fortnite
following the addition of this year’s Arena mode has simply torn the community
due to a buff to controller aim assist
which was already slandered as ‘aim-botting’ by PC players. These contradicting
moves make it difficult to interpret how interested Epic Games really is in
their competitive scene and if change is coming like they promised themselves.
Last weekend we saw the first week of the Fortnite FNCS Invitational
play out. The upcoming stage is the 2nd week, which is to be held next weekend
between the 16th and 17th of May. Here’s everything you need to know and how to
watch the Fortnite FNCS Invitational.
Tournament’s background
The Fortnite Champion Series, commonly known as the FNCS is an online
event run by Epic Games which consists of a $2,000,000 prize pool across seven
regions (Europe, NA East, NA West, Brazil, Asia, Oceania, Middle East).

Prize pool
With regards to the prize pool, each region has its own set of prize
money to be distributed. To see the whole distribution of the prize money
kindly check out the official rules and regulations posted by Epic Games which
you can find here. (https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/competitive/en-US/news/fncs-invitational-official-rules), Overall, it
all adds up to a total of $2,000,000
How to qualify for the main event
There are 5 stages in total for the Fortnite FNCS Invitational. The
first stage is the Open qualifier, where players from all over the world
compete against each other in an intense session of matches where they will try
to achieve their best score determined by placements and eliminations. The
points are then added up to the final score, and the top 100 players will then
proceed to the 2nd stage, which is the Week 1.
The second stage consists of a similar format as the open qualifiers.
The players will be competing to get the best score possible to reach the top
300 players, as those will pass on to the 2nd week.
The 2nd week / Third stage is exactly the same as the above stages, with
the only twist being that only 80 players will be advancing to the next stage,
being the Grand Finals. This is where all players must compete at their utmost,
as the stakes are much higher having less players advance to the next stage.
The fourth stage of the Fortnite FNCS Invitational is the Reboot Round.
This is where the non-advancing players that participated in Week 1 or Week 2
can queue up for the Reboot round for a final chance to advance to the Grand
Finals. The format for the fourth stage is quite different from any other stage
so far. Players have a session that lasts approximately 3 hours and are able to
participate in 6 matches maximum during this session. The scoring system works
the same as the previous stages, and with regards to advancements, only the top
20 earning players from each server region will be advancing to the Grand
Finals.
