How to watch the FaZe Clan Elite Cup featuring Fortnite

Back with a bang! The Elite Cup Series returns with what promises to be its most thrilling contest yet.

This season’s FNCS may still be a few weeks away, but that doesn’t mean that competitive Fortnite fans are starved of content. The Practice Server scrims Discord has teamed up with iconic esports org FaZe Clan to throw the “FaZe Clan Elite Cup”.

Running April 9 to April 11, the event will showcase top tier talent in a Trios format, and will be the first real indication of which teams are looking hot in Season 6. To up the ante even further, Nissan has jumped on board as lead sponsor, putting a total prize pool of $25,000 up for grabs.
