“Benjyfishy Cup” announced with $10,000 prize pool

This isn’t Benjyfishy’s first rodeo running a tournament. This time around, there’s $10,000 up for grabs

As the Fortnite Championship Series Solo Invitational comes to a wrap, everybody is anxiously awaiting another bombshell competitive announcement from Epic. While we know another iteration of FNCS is in the works, it’s not totally clear how soon that will take to manifest

In the meantime, Benjyfishy is hosting his very own tournament in collaboration with Epic’s tournament hosting system. If you’re from Europe, you can head over to the compete tab and see the two round ladder

Alternatively (and more preferably), you can check back to FortniteTracker’s upcoming events. The Benjyfishy Cup, alongside any other previous, live, and future events can be found here

Sorry controller players, but this event is quite placement heavy. W-keying won’t get you too far, so make sure to play those end games and secure a dub or two!

Although the Benjyfishy Cup doesn’t host an incredible prize pool like the ones Epic has spoiled us over the past year, it’s still going to be hyper competitive and all round fun. If you’re from Europe, make sure to register before it’s too late
