Epic Games took advantage of the FNCS Season Grand Finals last night to announce the first official “head-to-head” Fortnite tournament since the pandemic began. It was great news on paper, but it still tasted sour to many pros and fans alike, as the World Cup rightly heralded the publisher’s FNCS Invitational.
The event will take place November 12-13, Raleigh, North Carolina, USAAnd invite the best players on the planet. Therefore, we note that this invite will be global and binary (not regionalized by servers).
A replacement for the World Cup?
It is therefore unlikely that Epic Games will surprise everyone at the last minute with the 2022 World Cup. This FNCS Invitational will take place in November, leaving little room for the World Cup until the end of the year. . The paper invite is a head-to-head global competition with up to $1 million in cash..
Epic on alert because of the Covid
It will be too late for this awesome return of official Fortnite LANs. It must be said that the publishing house was particularly affected by the health crisis caused by the Covid19 pandemic. Face-to-face Fortnite competitions, which featured 100 players, plus legions of staff and admins, made it really difficult to cope with current health rules and stay in small groups at events.
In the press release announcing the next invitation of the FNCS to the gatheringEpic Games is being very careful and warns that the competition may be delayed or even canceled if a state of health justifies it. In addition, players likely to receive a summons are now summoned to an administrative and medical check.
