Team Exploit Win Red Bull Rise Till Dawn Tournament Hosted by Ninja and DrLupo \u2013 Final Placements Twitter\/@redbullesportsThe duo of NateHill and SoaR Funkbomb took home first place at the Red Bull Rise Till Dawn Fortnite tournament, which was hosted by top streamers Ninja and DrLupo. The tournament was 90 duos head to the top floor of the Willis Tower in Chicago, to play through the night for a shot at the prize money. It was the first major Fortnite event to be run by Red Bull, as part of their new partnership with Ninja, who is sponsored by the energy drink brand. The tournament winners netter $1,125 each, which some have noted is a fairly small payout, but it is likely due to the $10,000 limit which Epic Games has imposed on 3rd party tournament organizers. Ninja streamed the entire tournament on his personal Twitch channel, attracting consistently over 100,000 concurrent viewers throughout. Paired up with each other, the competitors would get extra points on the score board for eliminating either Ninja or Lupo, and received standard points for every elimination and victory royale. At the end of a long gruelling night of games, the champions were crowned, announced by Ninja\u2019s wife and manager Jessica \u201cJGhosty\u201d Blevins.
