FNCS Major 2 Format
The format for the Fortnite upcoming tournament Major 2 event is pretty similar to past events. There are a few weeks of qualifying rounds where players compete to try and make it through to the finals. Each weekend is broken up into a few sessions, just like in Fortnite Major 1 for the year.
Players who come out on top of each of the weekly events will move forward to the next session. At the end of that, the top highest placing Duos will move directly into the finals. This repeats for a few weeks before we get a full roster! You can keep track of who has qualified through the Fortnite tournament tracker too. There’s a last chance to get a spot during the Surge Week before we get the Grand Finals themselves.
The Grand Finals are played over an entire weekend with a cumulative leaderboard. The top-placing teams will win their spots at the Copenhagen LAN, along with a bigger share of the $2,001,200 prize pool.
