Fortnite’s Community Cup gives players the chance to unlock a highly sought-after new Outfit for free.
Season 8’s short but sweet FNCS wrapped up in spectacular style this past weekend, with exciting stories across all regions. Become Legends trio Kami, Setty and Teeq treated us to what was undoubtedly the strongest Finals performance of all time in Europe, the newly formed team of Bugha, Mero and Muz conquered NAE despite having next to no practice beforehand, and Reet, Favs and Snacky finally put an end to the dominant streak of EpikWhale and co in NA West.
There’s no time to relax, however. We’re straight back into the competitive Fortnite action with the FNCS Grand Royale kicking off next week.
In each region, top players from 2021 will battle it out in the highest prized tournament of the year. The Finals will be broadcast live on November 20 and 21 and you can earn some cool Twitch Drops including a new Spray and Emoticon by tuning in.
Hype Hour Show
To increase the buzz before Grand Royale, Epic will be hosting their first ever Hype Hour show on November 19. The broadcast will provide an exciting look back at the year, including interviews with pros and analysis from casters.
Additionally, the Hype Hour will feature a “brief announcement regarding Fortnite Competitive in 2022”. Of course, if you can’t catch it live, you’ll be able to watch the full VOD whenever you choose.
