We’re in the midst of Fortnite Chapter 5, with players discovering what the best routes to victory are in Season 2. We’ve already had the weekly events like Cash Cups return. What about the major event in competitive though, the FNCS 2024 Major 2? I’ll be the highlight of esports for this season and the grand final is just a short while away! We’ve nearly got our Chapter 5 Season 2 Champions locked in.
The FNCS 2024 Major 2 is the headline event for the season. The chance for players to earn their spots at the end of year LAN. It’s also a tournament with the biggest prize pool for our current season and the defining event for C5 S2 Fortnite esports. With a really creative set of items available for players to use, things are set up for an interesting Major 2.

The FNCS 2024 Major 2 has already gotten started, finishing up multiple rounds to qualify. We’ve seen the top FN players competing across each region once we get to the finals. It’s a tournament broken up into a few stages. We’ve had multiple stages of qualifiers, leading to semi-finals. Eventually, we’ve narrowed things down to the top 50 Duos in each region moving to this weekend’s Grand Finals.
The Grand Finals are a weekend event where the very best players compete in a single lobby for each region. This is the highlight of each FNCS Major. What can we expect to see at the Grand Finals?
The FNCS Grand Finals are the conclusion to this tournament. It’s a two-day event, over May 18-19th. There are 12 games in total split into six games per day. Players get scored for eliminations and placement. However, on the second day, the points are worth 1.5x! This makes this second day vital for getting through to the Grand Finals.
At the end of the two days, the team on top of the FNCS Major 2 2024 leaderboard will get their slots for the LAN. Plus, a decent share of the prize pool for their trouble. These are the players we’re expecting to see in the FNCS Major 2 2024 Grand Finals for the two biggest regions of Fortnite.
The Prize pool for the FNCS Grand Finals is a bit different depending on where you’re playing. The bigger regions carry bigger prizes. However, everywhere gets a fairly impressive sum for the season as a whole. These are the top prizes players can get at the tournament.
Major 2 for the FNCS 2024 season has started up. Now that there are by-weeks and more rounds, the Fortnite Champion Series stretches out to quite a bit of each season. These are the key dates and schedule this season.

The FNCS this Major will decide on another batch of teams to make the LAN at the end of the year. However, the teams who have already qualified will likely still be competing. If we see any of these again win the FNCS Major, they’ll undoubtedly be in a strong position for the rest of the Chapter’s esports.
The Fortnite competitive build for Season 2 is in a bit of an interesting place. We’ve got some strange items that could be useful for busting players out of boxes in fights. However, there’s also the overpowered sniper and new shotgun that’s dominating the meta right now. It’ll be interesting to see how all of this works in the FNCS 2024 Major 2.
One major difference is that the tournament build hasn’t been updated like the main game. The Star Wars items are missing. The Chain of Hades has been vaulted from the tournament build at the last minute. However, there’s still an exciting loot pool active in here. The medallions especially might make all the difference for players who are dropping Grim Gate.
