Fortnite – Bugha throwback cup
Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf played his first offline event with the Fortnite World Cup. The young player had the skills to make his mark and he did not fail. A day before July 28, 2019, Bugha was just an ordinary kid who loved Fortnite. No one could have predicted that he’d end up being a millionaire the next day.
The three champions will be hosting separate tournaments. The cup will have two rounds and players from all competitive regions can take part.

The top 100 players from the first round advance to the second round. Players from NA East; Bugha’s own region though are in for some hard luck. Well not really though, because only 99 players will make it through from the NA East region, and Bugha will be waiting for them. The tournament also is confirmed to be region-locked, that is to say, a player may participate from one region and not more.
The Bugha cup will take place on July 31. The winner will get a grand total of $100,000 as prize money.
