KEEMSTAR\u2019s Friday Fortnite Tournament Breaks More Records Again on May 25th It was another successful running of the Friday Fortnite tournament on May 25th, as the biggest names in gaming and YouTube put on a show for fans \u2013 pulling in millions of viewers. The tournament, hosted and organized by YouTuber Daniel \u201cKEEMSTAR\u201d Keem and tournament website UMG, isn\u2019t exactly about finding the best Fortnite players, but rather, as Keem himself put it, it\u2019s a \u2018clout\u2019 tournament. There are top Fortnite players involved, with the likes of TSM pro players Ali \u201cMyth\u201d Kabbani, Darryle \u201cHamlinz\u201d Hamlin and Daequan \u201cDaequan\u201d Loco taking part, as well as this week\u2019s winners, FaZe Clan pro\u2019s Dennis \u201cCloak\u201d Lepore and Turner \u201cTfue\u201d Tenney.

These big names help to draw in the massive viewing figures. The players team up in duos, and battle against another duo to see who can get the highest number of kills over two squad games of Fortnite. And for week 3, which boasted an increased prize pool of $20,000, the number of unique viewers rocketed once again \u2013 to 8.5 million according to KEEMSTAR himself. Tyler \u201cNinja\u201d Blevins, who is easily the most watched Fortnite streamer, made it all the way to the finals with his partner, Team Envy player King Richard, where they faced the FaZe Clan duo of Tfue and Cloak. #FridayFortnite week 3 pulled in at least 8.5 million unique viewers.@Ninja himself pulled 2.6 million on @Twitch. & @NickEh30 pulled 1.5 million alone on @YouTubeGaming (Keep in mind viewers can be counted twice if they watch multiple streams.) pic.twitter.com\/SZaJQ0Uwv1 \u2014 KEEM (@KEEMSTAR) May 26, 2018 Having Ninja reach the final likely helped to boost the overall unique viewers, and pulling in 2.6 million on his stream alone might even be record breaking for his own channel in a single stream. NickEh30 seems to be the most popular Fortnite streamer on YouTube, and considering he only managed 5\/6th, his 1.5 million unique viewers is even more impressive. Some viewers will have watched multiple streams, and so the \u2018view\u2019 will count twice for example. Because the tournament is streamed on so many channels, it would be impossible to keep track of this. Keep an eye out for week 4 of the Friday Fortnite, which should be another night of top tier Fortnite entertainment, giving fans a taste of what competitive Fortnite could be.
