Even before the dust has settled in New York following the first-ever Fortnite World Cup, a question mark has appeared over the future of Fortnite esports<\/a> and what the second half of 2019 might bring.<\/p>\n

After a $100 million event, expectations are high as Epic Games looks to raise the bar for esports tournaments<\/a> worldwide.<\/p>\n

With the long-awaited launch of Fortnite Season X on Thursday, August 1<\/a>, we were also introduced to the Fortnite Champion Series – an in-game weekly tournament with dedicated prize pools and a leaderboard to track the progress and performance of each player. <\/p>\n

Like the Fortnite World Cup, this new game mode will feature online qualifiers every weekend that will lead the top teams to the Season X Championship in September. The qualifiers will kick off on Saturday, August 17 and run over five weeks.<\/p>\n

Unlike the World Cup, the FCS will operate in Trio mode for its first season, meaning only teams of three will be able to compete in the series.<\/p>\n

It was also revealed that the Fortnite Champion Series will provide the top players with generous prize pools for each weekly event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
