Football in Fortnite ?
Epic revealed that it was starting 16 June the Fortnite UEFA Euro 2020 Cup. The Fortnite UEFA Euro 2020 is a two-day online competitive activity with an overall small total prize pool of $50 K dollars for Europe, North America (East and West), Brazil, Middle East, Asia and Oceania.
Two alternative scoring systems will be used in the EUFA 2020 Fortnite tournament, one for each round. In both sessions, the placement points are the same. A Victory Royale will add 42 points to the player’s total. Round one eliminations are worth two points, whereas round two eliminations are worth three points. The two scoring systems are otherwise identical.
