Here\u2019s why Friday Fortnite has been cancelled until late September KEEMSTARThe fan-favorite Friday Fortnite tournament series has been cancelled for at least a month, according to host and popular YouTuber Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem. Friday Fortnite have become a weekly tradition over the past couple of months, with fans taking a strong liking to watching their favorite streamers and pro players destroy public lobbies. However, the competition has been cancelled until September 27, with the August 16 running being the first casualty of this decision. This is due to a scheduling conflict a series of Trios tournaments that Epic Games themselves will be running, which will take place over the next five weeks. \u201cDamn, Epic is doing Trio events for five weeks, so Friday Fortnite won\u2019t return until September 27!!!\u201d he tweeted. \u201cGoing to focus all my energy on Minecraft Monday for next five weeks.\u201d Damn , Epic is doing Trio event for 5 weeks so #FridayFortnite won\u2019t return till September 27th!!! Going to focus all my energy on #MinecraftMonday for next 5 weeks!!! pic.twitter.com\/okx2B6oDL0 \u2014 KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) August 16, 2019 The issue that KEEMSTAR is facing whenever Epic\u2019s tournament schedule clashes with his is that the official Fortnite tournaments usually feature prize pools that are massively larger than Friday Fortnite, which is capped at $10,000 as per Epic\u2019s rules. Thus, many of the top content creators and pro players Keem needs to attract viewers understandably opt to play in the official competitions, leaving the YouTuber with no choice but to cancel his own.

When Friday Fortnite was first created back in May of 2018, it ran for 10 consecutive weeks before Epic decided to kick off their Summer Skirmish, which led to Keem slamming the developers for trying to suppress his efforts. However, this time around, he\u2019s taken a much more subtle approach in announcing the news, knowing that there will always be a mass of loyal viewers when his tournament returns. \u201cWhen Friday Fortnite returns on September 27, it;s going to be huge due to the players\u2019 and viewers\u2019 love for the event,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe stopped for a while year and came back pulling 11 million unique viewers weekly!\u201d It\u2019s doesn\u2019t mater.
