Grab a friend and get ready for another month of exciting DreamHack Fortnite action!
On Wednesday, Epic Games published an update on what to expect from competitive Fortnite in Season 5. Along with the FNCS, it seems that most of the weekly Cash Cups will focus on Trios gameplay, leaving fans of other modes a little disappointed.
But worry not, the DreamHack Online Open is back for January, and will once again give Duos from Europe and North America the chance to compete for a share of $250,000.
