The game involves 100 players dropping onto a fantasy island and fighting until only one remains standing. The Fortnite World Cup finals will take place at Arthur Ashe tennis stadium in Queens, New York this weekend. That's where the US Open tennis tournament is played every summer.Players from all over the world have flown to the Big Apple and will compete over a $30 million prize pool.Winners in the solo and duo categories can each snag $3 million, before taxes .
"I played a lot in my free time and kept getting better and better each week."Epic declined to comment on whether it thought Ninja's finals absence would hurt viewership. But it told CNN Business that the World Cup was a chance for unknown players to grow more famous."It's always been our intention that Fortnite competition be open and inclusive to players from all over the world, and we offered an open platform for anyone to prove themselves," the company said.

only good thing cnn has released in a while
they dont look like they've seen the light of day for years ..proper geeky !
This is the messed up part: younger kids are going to strive to be there kids and get stuck with a device to their faces more so than ever before. I don't want my kids thinking 'I want to grow up and play a pretend game forver' create it, build it, physically do something with it
Money or not.....my momma woulda knocked the sense out of me if my grades started going down!!!
This is as racist as it gets.
'Meggatroll'
So gay .
The fact that these 14 year olds are making 80k a year while most CS pros who have actual talent and dedication earn so much less is a travesty.
My ten-year-old says fortnite is becoming irrelevant. These boys better cash and quick.
Hope they save/invest their money. The average career of “professional” gamers isn’t very long.
🙄🙄🙄
Are women gamers going to see the same awful injustices that the USWST faced GOD THIS COUNTRY IS SUCH AN EVIL WHITE MALE KEEPING THE WOMEN DOWN TRASH HEAP
Why didn't you guys report when GamesDoneQuick raised over 3 million dollars for MSF_USA a few weeks back? GoThere
Everyone's good at something I suppose.
Something you should be reporting on. Good job fake news. Good job. Way to stay with what you know about.
let me know if there's a tournament for 'paperboy.'
Vince Carter!!!

So sad to see what the kids have become with this technology.
Give kids technology and 💥 money makers
My son wants to do this. Im all for it as long as the grades stay up and his little 14 year old attitude doesnt lose his gaming console.

GFuelEnergy You guys deserve it let’s see Dubsfn Megga dominate the cup
How does 1 make $ playing video games?
lol
“I see myself doing content creation and pro in 5 years.” But will the game even last another 5 years(
Megga The amount of unnecessary hate and salt is actually funny 😂.
Proud of them 💕
Nurmacy I see all the old head in the comments getting salty 😂 stop hating on gaming
So dope!!
FaZeNikan Imagine telling an African Dad you wanna be a streamer/YouTuber. Trust me it didn't go well😂
Remember when y’all people poked fun of gaming and esports that aged well didn’t it
GFuelEnergy Minecraft world cup when?
this is actually so wholesome i love it😁
Good for them but Kills my spirit. I struggle as the sole bread winner for my wife and our two children. When I see these kids making that money I have to wonder does all my hard work really mean anything?
Megga This hit me man. Secure the bag boys. FaZeUp
Meggatroll457
I wish I made 80,000 or 120,000 dollars a year
For once. Media isn’t bashing a video game or the kids playing the game.... But everyone else seems to still hate the idea that people can do what they love and be successful. It’s not any different from professional sports players except it’s more digital than physical
Megga He is chill
Megga I met megga in real life
literalegg123 damn
How sad! Don't kids these days go outside anymore? They'll never be able to grow and have a career if they don't learn any marketable skills.
Neither of these punks has met tonythetiger18 and of course the great NighJamie who plays on his phone experts maybethisshouldbeyourjobTony
Good luck, boys!
tournament that is based on rng. Fucking crazy
Humble, thoughtful, and driven to succeed. Just because these kids are taking a different path doesn’t make it wrong. Stop with all the “get a life” nonsense.
get a life
Sucks that fortnite is being represented as what esports is, considering that fortnite is the worst esport
🤦♂️
Damn shame.
Don't do games prefer a good book
