Hey Fortnite Competitors,
With a share of just over $5 million up for grabs, the FNCS Grand Royale is our largest prized competition this year. We’ve put together a unique format and ruleset for the event and wanted to share it with you ahead of the Chapter 2 Season 8 FNCS starting later this week.
As a reminder, any eligible player who has made a single-lobby round of FNCS (Round 4 of an FNCS Qualifier, Semi-Finals, or Finals) this year may make a Trio for the event - this includes Chapter 2 Season 8 FNCS. This means an eligible player may make a full Trio with any two players who are otherwise eligible to participate, regardless if those players have made a single-lobby round of FNCS this year. Select your teammates wisely. Once you’ve started the FNCS Grand Royale with a team, you cannot change teams for the remainder of the event.
We’re breaking out a brand new format for the Grand Royale. The competition will take place across two separate weekends. The first weekend (November 11-14) is reserved for the qualifying stages and the second weekend (November 19-21) is the Finals. Dates listed below are for all server regions besides the Middle East region. The Middle East region’s competition dates are one day earlier than listed below.
