Competitors,

Chapter 3 Season 2 FNCS Begins May 2
As stated in our Seasonal Fortnite Competitive Update, the Chapter 3 Season 2 FNCS will continue to have the ability to build. In addition, this season’s FNCS will also provide an additional qualifier followed by two weeks of competition, including Semi-Finals and Finals. Let’s break down the dates:
Qualifiers (May 2-6, May 7-8, May 13-15)
We’re adding an additional Qualifier to this season, for a total of three chances to qualify! Now the top five teams from each Qualifier will advance directly to the FNCS Finals, for a total of 15 teams. Each Qualifier will take place across four Rounds, with the fourth Round having one set lobby competing to qualify.
Semi-Finals (May 20-22)
Victory Royales and consistent performance will be the key to qualifying for the FNCS Finals. For any Session, you’ll either need to win a game or be one of the top six most consistent teams during that Session to advance to the Finals.
Session 1
- Top 50 teams from the Series Point Leaderboard from each region.
- Consists of five matches.
- 11 teams from this Session will advance to the Finals.
- 5 Victory Royale winners and the top 6 consistent teams.
Session 2
- Filled with the 11 vacant team spots by the 51st-61st teams on the Series Point Leaderboard.
- Consists of six matches.
- This 50-team lobby will run five matches and advance 12 teams to the Finals.
- 6 Victory Royale winners and the top 6 consistent teams.
Session 3
- Filled with the 12 vacant team spots by the 62nd-73rd teams on the Series Point Leaderboard.
- Consists of six matches.
- This 50-team lobby will compete across six matches and advance 12 total teams to the Finals.
- 6 Victory Royale winners and the top 6 consistent teams.
Here’s a condensed description of how Finals advancement works for each day:
- Session 1: 5 Matches; 2.5 Hours; 1st - 50th on the Series Points Leaderboard
- Session 2: 6 Matches; 3 Hours; 1st - 61st on the Series Points Leaderboard
- Session 3: 6 Matches; 3 Hours; 1st - 73rd on the Series Points Leaderboard
Finals (May 28-29)
There are two ways to be crowned FNCS Champions.
The first path to winning the FNCS Finals is by achieving Match Point. With Match Point, a duo team can end the competition early by earning 475 total points and three Victory Royales. Once a team has met both of these thresholds, they will be declared the FNCS Champions! Match Point is extremely challenging to achieve and only possible for a completely dominant performance.
The second path to winning the FNCS Finals is to be the team that earns the most points after all 12 matches are played. If no team is able to achieve Match Point by the 12th match, then the team with the most cumulative points at the end of the 12th match will be crowned FNCS Champions!

FNCS Community Cup
Get into the FNCS spirit by competing in the Chapter 3 Season 2 FNCS Community Cup on May 25!
This Duos event will have teams compete in ten matches across three hours to try and earn the most points possible. The top-performing teams in each region will earn the new C3:S2 FNCS Outfit and Back Bling.
These prizes may take up to a week to be awarded after the conclusion of the competition. Additionally, the Prizes and Rewards section of the FNCS Community Cup, under the career tab, will list “Unknown Items” as the FNCS Community Cup prize but rest assured that those do, in fact, refer to the new FNCS Outfit and Back Bling.
The Chapter 3 Season 2 FNCS Community Cup Official Rules will be posted in our Rules Library as we approach the tournament date.
Good luck, competitors!!
