How to watch the FNCS Major 1 tournament

First, you must know how to tune into a verified Twitch stream. Otherwise, you won’t be able to claim the free items. There are several options to watch FNCS Major 1. Epic Games hosts an official broadcast on the Fortnite Twitch channel

Also, you can watch FNCS Major 1 from the Legend’s Landing creative map (creative code 3303-7480-5925) in Fortnite. Epic has partnered with Twitch streamers in previous seasons to offer drops through their channel. It’s unclear if that will be an option this time, based on the tweet above. 

How can I unlock the FNCS Major 1 Twitch Drops?

Now that you know how to watch FNCS Major 1, let’s break down how you acquire them. The most essential aspect for Twitch viewers is to link your Twitch account to your Epic Games account. If you don’t, you cannot unlock the Twitch Drops. 

Here’s a quick rundown of how you can link these accounts together:

  1. Log in to your Epic Games Account
  1. Navigate to Account > Connections
  1. Select the Accounts tab and click the Connect button under Twitch 
  1. You’ll then go to Twitch, where you should log in to your Account
