The event will take place on November 12 and 13 at the Raleigh Convention Center in North Carolina, and will feature selected gamers from around the world competing for a $1,000,000 prize money. As the event’s date approaches, Epic Games will provide more details.

Just the top Fortnite Championship Series (FNCS) Duos, out of each region would be selected to participate. They will probably want to get this done soon to give people time to get ready.

Even though Epic is undertaking this step to make Fortnite competitive again as an in-person event, they want to ensure that players’ health and safety will always come first. The FNCS Invitational 2022 could be delayed, moved, or canceled based on public health concerns and legal requirements.

Epic is also urging potential guests to begin preparing for their trip by obtaining any essential travel documentation, such as vaccination papers, passports, test plans, and other government-issued credentials. This they say will enable players to stay one step ahead of any issues and ensure that they can compete in the FNCS Invitational without any challenges.

Fortnite’s return to offline competitions is a positive indication for the esports community. Following the initial Fortnite World Cup in 2019, held in New York with a cash prize of $30 million, the game has had only online tournaments.

This insinuates it will require some time for Epic’s esports crew to get up to speed quickly. Although, the Invitational appears to be an excellent opportunity to evaluate Epic’s readiness.

As the tournament comes to a close, the fans expect additional information from the developers about FNCS 2022, as well as possible hints about the next Fortnite World Cup as worldwide bans are lifted.

Can the next Fortnite World Cup reach the heights of 2019?

In 2019, Epic Games’ first Fortnite World Cup Finals drew a live-streaming audience of over two million concurrent viewers. They watched a 16-year-old prodigy win the $3 million solo grand prize, the greatest cash reward for an individual esports champion.

Kyle Giersdorf, or “Bugha”, was declared the champion after easily defeating the competition. The game was hosted in Arthur Ashe Tennis Stadium in Queens, New York.

According to esports analyst Rod Breslau, who cites public data from the platforms, the live stream of the popular battle-royale finals had over two million simultaneous sessions on Twitch and YouTube alone.

The Fortnite World Cup Finals took place from July 26-28 and included the 100 best solo players and top 50 pair teams from all over the world competing for a total prize pool of $30 million. Each player was guaranteed at least $50,000 in prize money.

Harrison “Psalm” Chang took second place in the individual tournament, winning $1.8 million. He was followed by Epikwhale (an anonymous top Fortnite player) with $1.2 million and Nate “Kreo” Kou with $1.05 million.

The main event started on Saturday, when the duo finals were won by the Cooler Esport representatives, Emil “Nyhrox” Pedersen from Norway and David “aqua” Wang from Austria.

On Sunday, July 28, it was time for the long-anticipated Fortnite World Cup solo finals, featuring 100 of the best players from all around the globe facing off in series of six matches to prove who is the best of the best.

Game one ended with Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf securing the first victory royale in addition to scoring nine eliminations, which got him a total of 19 points and a 10-point lead.

Hoping to maintain the momentum, Bugha was left disappointed in game two as he died in an early stage. That gave his 99 opponents a chance to catch up to him, but they failed to do so.

Thiago “King” Lapp came the closest by adding five eliminations to his name, meaning he had already collected 12 dog tags by the end of game two. Still, he was one point short of dethroning Bugha from first place.

Game three was won by FaZe Clan member and game two runner-up Danny “Dubs” Walsh, who managed to secure his first victory royale. Meanwhile, it was a top-10 finish that kept Bugha at the top of standings.

By the end of game four, which was won by Harrison “Psalm” Chang, things were looking up for Bugha, who was still holding top spot with an eight-point lead. He further extended that with two kills and a top-five finish in game five, meaning he was 15 points ahead of the second-placed Psalm.

With no sign of stopping, Bugha secured another five kills and finished fifth in game six to cement himself as the inaugural Fortnite world champion and one of the highest-earning players in esports history by collecting $3 million.

Joining Bugha (59 points) in the upper places were Psalm (33 points), Shane “Epikwhale” Cotton (32 points) and Nate “Kreo” Kou (30 points), meaning the United States secured all of the top four spots in the 2019 Fortnite World Cup.

The USA esports players were by far the most successful of the nations at the Fortnite World Cup, with a total of 10 American players finishing among the top 20 for a combined prize haul of $9,287,500?.
