Fortnite was initially a somewhat casual game, but it is now one of the most well-known titles in the esports sector. Epic Games has revealed the schedule for the next Fortnite Global Championship FNCS 2023, which will feature a massive prize pool.
The Fortnite Champion Series 2023 has been announced, marking a significant return to competitive Fortnite in 2023. The FNCS Major structure is another attempt by the ruling class to legitimize competitive Fortnite after the success of the FNCS Invitational.
Fortnite FNCS 2023: Start date, Prize pool, and format
There will be three Major tournaments this year, the first of which will begin on February 2nd and run for five weeks. A duos structure will be used, with four significant events deciding who advances further. The three FNCS Majors will each have a prize pool of $2 million, but the penultimate one called the “Last Chance Major,” will give competitors one last chance to do well and earn a top spot.
The top 40 teams from each major will advance to the grand final and fight for a part of the $2 million prize pool. On the basis of their results from each of the FNCS 2023 Majors, eligible duos will be invited to the FNCS Global Championship 2023. The official announcement is available on the Epic Games website.
