Even before the dust has settled in New York following the first-ever Fortnite World Cup, a question mark has appeared over the future of Fortnite esports<\/a> and what the second half of 2019 might bring.<\/p>\n

After a $100 million event, expectations are high as Epic Games looks to raise the bar for esports tournaments<\/a> worldwide.<\/p>\n

With the long-awaited launch of Fortnite Season X on Thursday, August 1<\/a>, we were also introduced to the Fortnite Champion Series – an in-game weekly tournament with dedicated prize pools and a leaderboard to track the progress and performance of each player. <\/p>\n

Like the Fortnite World Cup, this new game mode will feature online qualifiers every weekend that will lead the top teams to the Season X Championship in September. The qualifiers will kick off on Saturday, August 17 and run over five weeks.<\/p>\n

Unlike the World Cup, the FCS will operate in Trio mode for its first season, meaning only teams of three will be able to compete in the series.<\/p>\n

It was also revealed that the Fortnite Champion Series will provide the top players with generous prize pools for each weekly event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Epic is keeping the size of the pots a secret for now, the company has hinted that millions of dollars could be put on the line every week.<\/p>\n

Those who prefer to rely on their own skills rather than those of teammates will be happy to hear Season X will feature Fortnite Cash Cup tournaments.<\/p>\n

These single-day competitions will give players the opportunity to battle over separate prize pools reserved for Cash Cup events. <\/p>\n

The first Solo Cash Cup is set to kick off on Wednesday, August 21, with four more to follow. <\/p>\n

Wednesday events will require participants to be at Contender level or above, whereas Thursday events will require Champion status.<\/p>\n

Cash Cup will also have its own edition for Trios, set to begin on Friday, August 23, followed by three more tournaments in the course of next three weeks.<\/p>\n
