Epic Games recently unveiled the Fortnite Champions series 2021. The blog post also features important information regarding the dates, scoring, and format.

The Fortnite Champions Series has existed since the inception of Fortnite as an eSport. While it may not receive as much attention as the Fortnite World Cup, it allows players to earn some recognition and prize money. The tournament has also been held in a variety of game modes, including solo, duos, and trios.

Usually, the tournament features some of the biggest names in the game and is a must-see event for the fans. However, this year participation in the event seems to be at a record low.

Fortnite analyst ‘Somebodysgun’ uploaded a graphic to Twitter, which truly showcased the decrease in participation. The graphic indicates that participation numbers have dropped by more than 50% in every region.

How to take part in the Fortnite Champions Series

In order to be eligible to take part in the Champions Series 2021, players will have to be placed in the Champion Division in Arena. This applies individually to every member of the team. As a result, qualifying for the tournament becomes a lengthy process.

The tournament will feature four stages, namely qualifiers, semi-finals, reboot round, and finals. Week one of the qualifiers begins from April 23-25 and the finals will culminate by the end of the month. Furthermore, this season, Epic has kept a prize pool of $3 million across the eight participating regions.
