The Fortnite World Cup Finals have arrived, bringing more than 200 top "Fortnite" players to New York City to compete for $30 million in prize money.
"Fortnite" creator Epic Games will take over Arthur Ashe Stadium from July 26 to July 28 with a jam-packed schedule of competitions, contests, and fan activities. "Fortnite" is the most popular game in the world with more than 250 million registered players. The game is free-to-play and available on iPhone, Android, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC and Mac.
Earlier this year, Epic Games hosted 10 weeks of online qualifying tournaments to find the world's best "Fortnite" players. The Fortnite World Cup Finals will include 100 qualified solo players and 50 duos teams from six regions: North America East and West, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Brazil.
Qualified players include a mix of sponsored professionals and unknown international qualifiers who fought their way to the top of the ranks. Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, one of the world's most popular "Fortnite" players, failed to qualify for the main events, but will be participating in the Creative competition and Celebrity Pro-Am event. The most popular qualifier is Turner "Tfue" Tenney, who surpassed Ninja in watch time during the last three months.
