Fornite World Cup: Who are playing in it?
While anyone, yes you heard it right, anyone can sign up and compete in the tournament, the already established Fortnite pros are trying to prove they have what it takes. That means you can watch your favorite Twitch streamer-player competing in this league.
One of the big names battling for the solo championship is FaZe Clan's Turner "Tfue" Tenney after coming out on top in week three’s NA East qualifiers.
Ghost Gaming partner Timothy "Bizzle" Miller earned a spot in the Finals after placing third in the week one solos. This NA East player is a powerful rival, with over 96,000 Twitch followers rooting for his success.
Team Secret’s Kyle "Mongraal" Jackson and Atlantis’ Dmitri "Mitr0" Van de Vrie are another EU dynamic duo destined for the Finals after securing a place in week two. What’s notable here is that Mitr0 won the first Blitz Solo Showdown in 2018 so he has already proven he has what it takes to win.
Although I personally feel the unknown players can pack a punch, and since they don't have the burden of expectation, they can play their best without much pressure. Also, it will be really interesting to see them with new tricks up their sleeve.
If you want to take a look at all the players currently competing and those who have already qualified for the Finals, Epic's official site has what you're looking for.
