Summer Showdown collegiate Fortnite event debuts spicy new format

With the summer nearing an end, CCA is looking to end it with a bang as they announce the Summer Showdown. Find out the schedule and where to sign up!

The CCA feat. Fortnite have announced their first ever Summer Showdown that’s set to begin next week.

The five week long duos event will include a new format. The new format will let players choose anyone from the collegiate scene to team with, instead of being restricted to players from the same college.
