Currently, each group is down to its top 400 players. With the group phase today and tomorrow, that number will eventually be reduced to just 100. Before August 16, fans can still tune in to the Fortnite Champion Series through Twitch or YouTube to catch the group phase now.

These games have plenty of fan favorites to watch already

Currently, viewers are watching Benjy, MrSavage, and Mongraal over on the European server, in addition to a plethora of other pros. If you haven’t been following, there was a little dust-up with Benjy being accused of teaming after scoring his first place qualifier finish, although the evidence presented was not strong enough for officials to pass judgment.

But Benjy wasn’t the only player to be accused of teaming this tournament. Over in North America, Bugha was recently given a warning along with Owl for being in communication during a game. Suspicious activity, which could be interpreted as the two players working together, led to many competitive fans calling for both players to be banned. Epic deemed the behavior as inconclusive, however, and gave an official warning instead.

North America East’s Fortnite tournament also features other fan favorites like Clix and Stretch. For North America West, all eyes are on EpikWhale, who has not just placed highly on all of his qualifiers, but led in points and eliminations overall.

The Fortnite Champion Series will be the biggest tournament of the year, and after the upcoming Dreamhack tournament there will be almost no other big tournaments until next year. Additionally, until the ongoing pandemic is finally dealt with, it may be a long time before in-person tournaments come back at all.
