Over the past year, Fortnite esports has been lacking with regards to top-tier events. However, Epic Games looks to try and change the narrative with the $1,000,000 FNCS Invitational 2022 coming in the next week. Read on as we learn how to watch this exciting event below!
Event Background
Naturally, this event is the product of the organized efforts between BLAST and Epic Games. Known for hosting international Majors for multiple esports, BLAST looks to make this event special.
Anyways, the FNCS Invitational – FNCS short for Fortnite Champion Series – celebrates the highest level of competitive Fortnite on the planet. Indeed, the event will take place offline in the Raleigh Convention Center.
Running from 12th November, the event will conclude as soon as 13th November. Participating in the event are a total of 50 duos – 100 players. Notably, some players are representing organizations while others are freelancing.
Accordingly, below we’ve listed some of the represented organizations, rather than listing all 100 competitors.

Apart from $1,000,000, no placement points are up for grabs for the Duos.
Format
So, how will the prize be earned? Naturally, the format in place will help decide who the winners will be.
Anyways, across the two days of competition, the 50 international duos will play 12 games spread over two days, with 6 games every day. Each game will involve all Duos competing in one lobby, earning points through the Scoring System below:
Elimination Points
- 2 points per elimination
Placement Points
- 1st – 32 points
- 2nd – 29
- 3rd – 28
- 4th – 27

- 6th – 25
- 7th – 24
- 8th – 23
- 9th – 22
- 10th – 21
- 11th – 20
- 12th – 19
- 13th – 18
- 14th – 17
- 15th – 16
- 16th – 15
- 17th – 14

- 19th – 12
- 20th – 11
- 21st – 10

- 24th – 7
- 25th – 6
- 26-30th – 5
- 31-35 – 4
- 36-50 – 0
In short, it seems that placement points don’t seem to differ too much between positions. Bearing this in mind, frags will be a major factor – aggression will likely pay off.

Predictions
So, how shall we possibly predict which one of the fifty duos will come out on top?
Naturally, there are some stand-outs. For example, Kyle “bugha” Giersdorf is in fact the 2019 Fortnite World Cup Finals Solo champion. This year, he’s also walked away with regional victories in North America.
Otherwise, we’d like to hope that this event will help rejuvinate competitive Fortnite to where it once was a few years ago – will another World Cup ever be hosted again?
