KEEMSTAR gives a big update on return of Friday Fortnite tournament The potential return of KEEMSTAR\u2019s Friday Fortnite tournament has been given a major boost, after the Drama Alert host confirmed things were in motion for a comeback event. If unfamiliar, Friday Fortnite was, as the name suggests, a weekly Fortnite tournament held every Friday, with only the biggest streamers and YouTubers invited to play. The tournaments attracted tens of millions of viewers every week across all channels, but KEEMSTAR later had to end the tournament due to clashes with Epic Games\u2019 own \u2018Skirmish\u2019 series. Epic Games, developers of Fortnite, also imposed a rule that no third party tournaments could offer prize pools higher than $10,000, and had their million dollar tournaments running over weekends, prompting KEEMSTAR to discontinue Friday Fortnite. However, the community has demanded its return ever since, with the format loved by spectators and players alike \u2013 and KEEMSTAR has long been hinting at running another tournament. In his latest Drama Alert video, on January 7, KEEMSTAR states \u201cSpeaking of my tournament, Friday Fortnite, it\u2019s returning! Just want to let you know, we\u2019re working on it, it\u2019s going to be out soon. The last we heard about the potential return of Friday Fortnite suggested that KEEMSTAR would stick to Epic Games\u2019 limit of a $10,000 prize pool. Hmmmmm tempting\u2026. cc @Ninja @TTfue @cloakzy @CouRageJD @NICKMERCS @timthetatman @DrLupo @drdisrespect @shroud @summit1g @TypicalGamer @TSM_Hamlinz @TSM_Daequan @TSM_Myth https:\/\/t.co\/UDwxcOwb3n \u2014 KEEM (@KEEMSTAR) January 2, 2019 There are currently no major Epic Games ran tournaments ongoing, although 2019 is set to have a packed schedule, with the Fortnite World Cup starting. It means that currently there is a small window for KEEMSTAR and his team to organize at least one comeback tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
