KEEMSTAR Cancels This Week\u2019s $20K Friday Fortnite Celebrity Tournament Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem has cancelled this week\u2019s running of the Friday Fortnite celebrity tournament. The decision stems from Epic Games scheduling the first half of the $1 million \u2018Summer Skirmish\u2019 Duos tournament for Friday, July 20, the same day that the YouTuber\u2019s popular competition was scheduled to be played. KEEMSTAR held out for as long as he could before he ultimately decided to cancel, which he announced late on July 19. #FridayFortnite is canceled for tomorrow.@EpicGames is running their own event & told everyone last min. Yesterday they invited 5 of my players so I was still doing FF now they invited all. They capped FF at $20k & are doing events for $500k. I\u2019m not holding the players back. \u2014 KEEM (@KEEMSTAR) July 20, 2018 This essentially puts an end to Keem\u2019s brief standoff with Epic, as he had previously indicated that he would go through with his tournament despite the much larger event being played at the same time. However, with so many of Friday Fortnite\u2019s regular participants also receiving invites to play in Friday\u2019s $500K Summer Skirmish, the YouTuber realized he could not fill up his bracket, which offers a much more modest $20K prize pool due to being capped by Epic\u2019s third-party regulations.
