Fortnite World Cup 2019 with $30 million prize pool announced
Epic Games has revealed the plans for Fortnite World Cup 2019 and also shared details on the $100 million prize pool for the year.
Wrapping out the three-part competitive Fornite blog series, Epic Games has revealed the first details for the Fortnite World Cup 2019 and additional information on the $100 million prize pool for 2019. The event will begin with ten weekly Online Open qualifiers from April 13 to June 16 and, each week, $1 million will be on the line for eligible participants.
After that period, the top 100 Solo Fortnite players and top 50 Duo teams will compete in the Fortnite World Cup Finals in New York City.

In the finals, every single participant is guaranteed at least $50,000 and the Solo champ will walk away with $3,000,000.
