The event consisted of four competitions: creative mode, Pro-am for couples from one celebrity and one professional player, as well as pair and single battles for ordinary participants. The creative regime and Pro-am had separate prize funds, and the main jackpot of $ 30 million was divided between pairs and loners.
The tournament was not built as ordinary games in Fortnite: The winner was not the one who was the last survivor, but the one who scored more points according to the results of several matches. Glasses were charged for the final place in the match, as well as for each murder. Thus, the tournament system did not encourage quiet gatherings in the bushes – players who were not afraid to impose an open struggle to opponents fought for the first lines in the leaders table.

Nyhrox Nyhrox and Austrian Aqua were https://gambullscasino.co.uk/ the winners of the pair battles. They earned 51 points and took 3,000,000 dollars for two. In second place is the Netherlander Rojo and the British Wolfiez. They have 47 points and 2,250,000 dollars.
The best results of the CIS players are Russian Letw1k3, paired with the German Fwexy (32 place) and a Jamside Russian with Beloruss 7SSK7 (33 place). Both couples took $ 100,000.
What is curious, the silver medalists Rojo and Wolfiez achieved their results on controllers. They competed against players on keyboards and mice – the tournament’s rules did not forbid this, although they demanded to use either the standard Xbox gamepad or professional Scuf Vantage for PlayStation 4.
However, as Polygon reports, there was one feature: participants on controllers played the same way as it works Fortnite on consoles – that is, with automatic help in aiming.
In addition, the BBC interviewed Wolfiez and his mother and found out a curious detail: the guy was so carried away by the competitive Fortnite, that his estimates at school began to fall. Mom scolded her son and even threw him Xbox once, but now "made his decision to become a professional e -sports department". Still, because Wolfiez has earned more than a million dollars in one tournament!
