Now that the weekly qualifiers have concluded, we look ahead at the upcoming FNCS Finals and some of the strongest squads from each region.
The Fortnite Champion Series Finals will be taking place from 6-8 December, with a number of heats culminating in the Grand Finals on the Sunday. With the four weeks of qualifiers wrapped up, we have had a good chance to see which teams have adapted best to Fortnite Chapter 2, and who looks like a good bet for the Finals.
So, without further ado, here are my personal favorite Squads for Europe and North America:
EU
Andilex, 4zr, Noward & DRG
When it comes to consistency, these guys are the cream of the crop. If you paid attention to the EU qualifiers, you will have seen these names in the top ten every single week. Not only that but they picked up two 1st places and a 2nd place, with their worst finish being 4th.
1ST PLACE FOR A SECOND TIME GG !!! ?? @oh4zr @MCESAndilex @NowardBE pic.twitter.com/ls1VIhknta

Howard "Noward" Castiaux is probably the most well-known member of the squad, and also the most experienced. He and Jérémy "4zr" Dang are both members of Cooler Esport and qualified for the Fortnite World Cup Duo Finals together, placing 13th. Team Vitality’s Evan "DRG" Depauw is a crazy Solo player, he hasn’t had the most success in team-oriented game modes previously but seems to have found the right squad. French born Alexandre "Andilex" Christophe is perhaps the least experienced of the four, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t pull his weight. The Team MCES star has had some stunning performances so far this season and shows no signs of slowing down.
NAE
Khanada, Cloakzy, Fiber & Tfue
This one may be a bit controversial, as Williams “Zayt” Aubin and his team are definitely the favorites on paper. However, I have a feeling that when it comes to Finals, we will see a bit of magic from Turner “Tfue” Tenney and co.
Me and @Khanada_TV are friends no matter what. We are winning FNCS. you will see

They have played well as a squad during the qualifiers and scrims and shown hints of what could be a dominant unit. Their placements have been decent, including taking 2nd during week three. No doubt there is room for improvement, but the insane blend of vast competitive Fortnite experience and sheer mechanical talent is enough to take them all the way.
NAW
Rehx, Cented, EpikWhale & Edgey
During Season X, the trio of Brodie “Rehx” Franks, Evan “Cented” Barron and NRG “Edgey” were a commanding force on the West Coast, securing 3rd place in the FNCS Grand Finals. Well now they’ve added Shane “EpikWhale” Cotton to the mix and boy do they look impressive!

For the four weeks of qualifiers, their placements were 3rd, 1st, 3rd, 1st. This makes them the only team on NA-West to qualify for Finals 4/4 times. For sure there are other solid squads that will give them a run for their money, but I feel like they are going to come out on top this time around.
