The top 20 players will win cash prizes, starting $60,000 for the winner, and $6,000 for the player in 20th.
Victory Royales are worth five points, while single eliminations score one point. Players who rack up more than 20 kills in a single match earn a bonus ten points and $10,000 in prize money.
When the competition ends, the player with the most kills in a single game will walk away with a bonus $50,000.
The Fortnite developer will pay out $8 million in prize money over the course of the eight week competition.
Unfortunately, the Summer Skirmish event is an invitation-only affair, so only the best of the best get to take part.
Epic explained more in a recent blog post: “Grab your gear, drop in and start training.
“Since the launch of Fortnite Battle Royale we’ve watched the passion for community competition grow and can’t wait to empower you to battle with the best.
“In the 2018 – 2019 season, Epic Games will provide $100,000,000 to fund prize pools for Fortnite competitions.
“We’re getting behind competitive play in a big way, but our approach will be different – we plan to be more inclusive, and focused on the joy of playing and watching the game.”
