That\u2019s obvious,\u201d shroud said during an on-stream discussion about Epic Games\u2019 popular battle royale title. He added: \u201cA lot of pro players have messaged me saying like \u2018yeah we\u2019re quitting after the [Fortnite] World Cup shit and I\u2019m like \u2018Really, they\u2019re just going to throw more money in\u2019 and they\u2019re just going to play again.\u201d Epic Games are offering incredible prize pools On the point of prize money, Epic Games might not satisfy every member of the game\u2019s competitive scene, but the developer has certainly gone above and beyond in 2019 \u2013 with a total of $100 million in earnings up for grabs during the course of the year. One of the highest earning pro players, FaZe Clan\u2019s Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney, has already indicated that he may take a step away from the competitive scene and just focus on casually streaming on Twitch moving forward.

Nevertheless, it\u2019s very much a warning sign for anybody connected with Fortnite esports. The Fortnite World Cup qualifiers kicked off on April 13 and weekly tournaments will take place, each of which have a $1 million prize pool, and will come to an end on June 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
