Fortnite may be lacking in events, but third-party organizers are making sure to give the community what they deserve.
It is no secret that OG Fortnite has brought back the largest player base Fortnite has ever seen. With that, Fortnite had multiple events a week planned, trying to immerse everyone into the competitive side of the Battle Royale.
Sadly, though, with many difficulties and issues, a great deal of these events had to be canceled.
With no Ranked Cups, FNCS events and more, many have been looking to third-party event organizers for their Fortnite competitive fix.
Third-party tournaments help keep Fortnite's competitive scene alive
FNCS Globals concluded this October. This means that there will be zero large competitive Fortnite events for the rest of the year. With some of the more anticipated cups also being canceled, many have been wondering just what to play in Fortnite.
Luckily, many large creators and organizers dropped in to save the day.
