While the casual community has been a great deal of traction, various members of the esports industry have attempted to turn Fortnite into a competitive title, with Epic Games announcing on May 21st that the game will receive $100 million in prize money between 2018 and 2019 for official tournaments. However, even though no official events have been played, Fortnite fans have taken the situation into their own hands by hosting different online tournaments to help promote the community. KEEMSTAR, the host of the \u2018Drama Alert\u2019 YouTube series, created a weekly \u2018FridayFortnite\u2019 tournament which includes a collection of large YouTubers, streamers, and personalities from around the scene to try their luck in a double-elimination style bracket hosted by UMG. Following the success of FridayFortnite, some community members inquired about a separate tournament which could help promote smaller personalites, leading KEEMSTAR to announce \u2018SaturdayFortnite\u2019 on Saturday, June 2nd at 4 PM EST (1 PM PST, 9 PM BST.) #SaturdayFortnite for Small YouTuber & Twitch streamers $5k 6\/2\/2018 @ 4pm est by @KEEMSTAR & @UMGEvents To be invited you must Tweet @UMGEvents with your Twitch YouTube & UMG usernameIf u don\u2019t have a UMG user name make one.
