This weekend we saw the conclusion of a bit of a different type of Fortnite tournament. The DreamHack San Diego event has now wrapped up, with some of the top Fortnite players claiming the grand prize and the lion’s share of the Fortnite tournament prize.

This event was an open one, which isn’t too different for Fortnite. FNCS is always open, but this was one of the rare LAN Fortnite tournaments for money where literally anyone could compete. While things looked pretty wide open in early rounds, some of the top active Fortnite players took the top spots at the DreamHack Open Tournament. This is how it went down in the finals.

DreamHack Fortnite Tournament

After four heats, the finals for the DreamHack Fortnite tournament concluded on Sunday. In the opening game, Vortexers and Axeforce took home the win alongside a staggering 11 kills in a single game. It looked like they’d set themselves up for one of the best runs through here, but the tide quickly turned.

This early lead passed, and by game 3 they were knocked out in 49th place without a kill. The Duo still went on to win fourth in the overall event and that early game was really an impressive start, but they didn’t claim victory or the lion’s share of the Fortnite tournament prize.

Elsewhere in the rankings, there were a few major names and some of the best Fortnite streamers competing. A lot of the more known players suffered a bit though. Even those who have previously performed strongly at these Gamers8 events like Malibuca just failed to make the top 10.

Kwanti and Threats Win DreamHack SD

In the final totaling, it was Kwanti and Threats who came out first. This Duo didn’t get A Victory Royale across the Finals, but it’s not just dubs that count. Their lowest placing in the finals was 25th, and they routinely placed 2nd throughout the tournament and had consistently strong kill counts.

Others in the finals had flashier individual games. Victory Royales with as many as 14 kills happened further in the event. In the end, it came down to a single point though. Proving that a team performing consistently well, with high kills and decent placement, is going to trump a squad that pops off in a few games but falters elsewhere.

The DreamHack Fortnite tournament is over for Zero Builds. That’s it for this Fortnite part of the DreamHack tournament guide. But we’re just getting started with competition for this season. There are loads of Fortnite tournaments for money on the horizon. Pretty soon a new FNCS will be beginning, Kwanti and Threats will definitely have some extra fans heading into the next round of pro Fortnite.
