Along with grabbing their share of the $250,000 prize pool, the top 10 Duos will earn spots in the upcoming Gamers8 2,000,000 Fortnite series in July.
50 Duos will face off in the Gamers8 tournament, with 30 spots reserved for DreamHack’s best Duos.
How To Compete
Everyone can enter the DreamHack tournaments, provided you have a BYOC Lan ticket to one of the three events. Prices for DreamHack San Diego start at $109 (Complete registration details are still forthcoming). You can look at ticket options here.
Those competing in DreamHack San Diego can take advantage of some special offers currently on DreamHack’s website. Competitors can book at one of several hotels at cheaper rates.
The average ordinary Duo of Fortnite players with a dream won’t be the only ones competing; expect notable names and faces from the Fortnite community to show up to throw down. Everyone will need to bring their A-game if they want to advance to Gamers8.
