Fortnite enthusiasts worldwide are gearing up for the first Esports World Cup (EWC) Qualifier, set to take place at DreamHack Dallas 2024 this weekend.
With an opportunity to secure a spot at the prestigious $750,000 EWC in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this summer, the competition is reaching new heights. Let’s explore the format and take a look at every confirmed team ahead of this thrilling event!
Understanding ESL Fortnite
ESL Fortnite has ushered in a new era, replacing traditional DreamHack Fortnite competitions with a focus on Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN). Unlike the typical Battle Royale or Zero Build tournaments, ESL Fortnite features teams of four competing head-to-head in custom game modes like Hardpoint and Capture The Flag.
While preliminary matches are mostly best-of-three, the Grand Finals at DreamHack Dallas 2024 will be best-of-five, with squads battling through a seeding format before transitioning to a double-elimination bracket.
The format for the Esports World Cup 2024 remains unclear, but enthusiasts eagerly anticipate further details.
