It&#8217;s a weekly online tournament co-hosted by UMG Events and YouTube Channel DramaAlert&#8217;s host Daniel &#8220;<strong>KEEMSTAR<\/strong>&#8221; Keem, in which 32 teams of duos battle it out for a $20,000 prize pool. To make things interesting, the tournament has a double elimination format, which allows teams that lose in the winners&#8217; bracket to grind their way back to the top through the losers&#8217; bracket. The tournament has been streamed to massive success, with millions of viewers watching every week.<\/p>\n<p>Each tournament is brimming with famous Fortnite players, the likes of which include Tyler &#8220;<strong>Ninja<\/strong>&#8221; Blevins, Turner &#8220;<strong>Tfue<\/strong>&#8221; Tenney, Ali &#8220;<strong>Myth<\/strong>&#8221; Kabbani, and many more. With so many top caliber players within the tournament, Fortnite Friday brings together some of the most anticipated matchups ever.<\/p>\n<p>One example would be Week 5&#8217;s Grand Final, in which two of Esports&#8217; biggest organizations \u2014 FaZe Clan and TSM \u2014 faced off, with FaZe players\u00a0<strong>Tfue<\/strong> and\u00a0Dennis\u00a0&#8220;<b>Cloak<\/b>&#8221;\u00a0Lepore defeating TSM&#8217;s Daequan &#8220;<strong>Daequan<\/strong>&#8221; Loco and Juan &#8220;<strong>CaMiLLs<\/strong>&#8221; Camilla.<\/p>\n<p>Based on past tournaments and recent results, the current favorites to win today are no other than FaZe <strong>Tfue<\/strong> and FaZe <strong>Cloak<\/strong>, who not only won last week&#8217;s tournament, but have won an impressive 3 of the 7 tournaments hosted so far. But with so much talent within the tournament, anything is bound to happen. Time will tell whether FaZe can keep up their success today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Watch:\u00a0<\/strong>All 64 participating players in the tournament will be streaming during the tournament through their individual POVs, but you can also watch through UMG&#8217;s own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/umgevents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitch channel<\/a>.
