This morning, Epic Games laid out specifics for their $100 million Fortnite esports circuit during the 2019 calendar year.

The road to the Fortnite World Cup live finals, held in New York City with a $30 million prize pool associated with it, will begin on April 13 with 10 weekly online qualifiers, each awarding $1 million in prizes. Once the final qualifier is finished on June 16, the top 100 Solo players and 50 Duo teams will be guaranteed $50,000 and the opportunity to compete for the $30 million in prizes.

Going forward, Epic has announced that they will run weekly $1 million online tournaments using unique formats and game modes to help reach their $100 million total in prizes given out during the year. 

Despite the competition in the battle royale space with the rise of Apex Legends and Tetris 99, Fortnite recently hit their non-special-event all-time high for concurrent players last weekend at 7.6 million. With a player base in the hundreds of millions and rising, Epic is looking to provide the opportunity for anyone who may be good enough and dedicated enough to get a taste of esports stardom by winning a share of the significant esports prize pool.

Currently, the game is available on numerous different platforms, making the possibility of competing at the highest level possible available to anyone with a device as accessible as a smartphone.
