Epic Games announced a ‘Free Fortnite Cup’ special tournament, due to take place on Sunday, August 23rd across all platforms.
Quite obviously, this is a PR move against Apple, following Epic’s lawsuit filed for unlawful monopoly and Apple’s decision to not only remove Fortnite from the App Store but also to threaten the termination of all Unreal Engine iOS developer accounts, against which Epic filed a restraining order. Prizes will be suitably anti-Apple, too; read on to learn how the Free Fortnite Cup is going to work and what exactly will be the rewards for the winners.
TOURNAMENT DETAILS
Navigate to the in-game Compete tab to see when the event starts for your region and during the scheduled time, you can drop in to the tournament by selecting the #FreeFortnite Cup Playlist. For four hours, eligible players have the opportunity to win prizes in the #FreeFortnite Cup. Compete as a Solo player in up to 12 matches. Scoring is as follows:
- Active Time – 1 point for every 3 minutes on the BR island.
- Eliminations – 1 point per Elim
- Victory Royale – 10 points for each Victory Royale
