Confirmed Participants for Fortnite\u2019s First \u2018Summer Skirmish\u2019 $250,000 Duos Tournament \u2013 Ft, CouRage, Tfue, and More! The field of participants is coming to shape for the first event of Fortnite\u2019s newly announced \u2018Summer Skirmish\u2019 competitive series. Although Epic Games have not yet released an official list of those who will be competing in the $250,000 Duos tournament, many have taken to social media to confirm their invitation. As expected, the first event will feature a mix of community content creators and professional players, or \u201cplayers who have demonstrated their competitive prowess.\u201d While some have already named who they will be partnering up with, others have not yet decided who their duo will be. There are also several notable omissions, as some big names have tweeted out that they had not received an invitation for the first tournament. However, this was also to be expected, as Epic confirmed that the format and competitors may change from week-to-week. \u2013 Here are some of the players who have confirmed that they will be playing in the first event. This article will be updated as more are announced.
