The rivalry between Epic Games and Apple doesn't seem to end anytime soon, as the developers of Fortnite have decided to drop the #FreeFortnite Cup for the players on 23rd August. They will have access to free rewards such as Tart Tycoon skin, gaming laptops and consoles by playing and earning points in the tournament.
This move by Fortnite comes right after Epic filed a lawsuit against Apple. For those who don't know, Apple has removed Fortnite from its App Store for violating the terms of service. Players and fans have mixed reactions about the situation as it gets worse day by day.

- Eliminations - 1 point will be given per elimination.
- Victory Royale - 10 points will be awarded for each Victory Royale
The players will given rewards on the basis of total points accumulated by them. The prize pool ranking varies from region to region. Thus, it might be easier for some players to get into the top-tiers of their area and earn free rewards. Here is a look at every region's ranking criteria:

Players will also have an opportunity to earn free gaming hardware goodies like:
