This is the first major step toward Fortnite Esports, and with so much money on the line, it&#8217;s sure to attract the attention of pro teams and casual players alike.<\/p>\n<p>Competition will start this weekend, which features a $250,000 Duos tournament. Participants have been invited by Epic themselves, and are people who are &#8220;community creators and Fortnite players who have demonstrated their competitive prowess&#8221;. And to keep things interesting, the format and competitors of each tournament will vary each week.<\/p>\n<p>However, what&#8217;s notable is that none of the professional Fortnite FaZe Clan members were invited to this weekend&#8217;s duo tournament, which is interesting considering FaZe clan has been one of the most dominant professional teams in Fortnite so far, with FaZe Tfue and FaZe Cloak already winning 4 Fortnite Friday duo tournaments and other FaZe duos performing well also.<\/p>\n<p>While the format of the $250,000 tournament has not yet been released, it&#8217;s speculated that it will have a more traditional format than Keemstar and UMG Online&#8217;s Fortnite Friday tournaments, similar to that of the Fortnite Pro-Am.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of everything, Summer Skirmish is coming soon, and the exciting path towards Fortnite Esports is finally becoming real.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video Credit: IGN News Just today, Epic Games announced that they&#8217;ll be hosting the Summer Skirmish series, an 8-week series of online Fortnite competitions in which a massive 8 million in prize money will be awarded.
