Solo Cash Cups are finally back! Here’s everything you need to know.
For many Fortnite fans, the month+ competitive break at the start of a season can feel like an eternity. We got a brief look at the new meta during the FNCS All-Star Showdown, and since then we’ve seen a bunch of third-party events.
A lot of these tournaments are invitation-only, meaning players are desperate for a chance to join the action. And with Trio Cash Cups having returned on Monday, it’s been a rough period for those who struggle to find teammates.
