Here’s everything you need to know about the Gamers8 Fortnite LAN in Saudi Arabia!

Competitive Fortnite Zero Build heads to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on July 6, 7, 8, and 9 for the second annual Gamers8 LAN tournament. Last year, top European players Pinq and Anas walked away with the Zero Build title and $250K. 

This year, the Gamers8 Fortnite tournament features a massive $2 million prize pool and a field of ultra-talented duos. The action is mere days away; here’s everything you should know about the Saudi Arabia LAN. 

Gamers8 Fortnite LAN Schedule, format, and how to watch

The competition occurs across three days; July 6, 7, 8, and 9. Before the main tournament begins, Gamers8 will host a regional Middle East qualifier on July 6 to fill out the five remaining spots.

Then, from July 7 to 9, competitors will participate in six daily games with a different scoring system during each session.

Ultimately, the final placement on the leaderboard will depend on each duo’s placement points and eliminations earned across the three days.
