Qualifiers are currently underway for July’s Fortnite 
World Cup competition, but the event won’t solely be focused on the popular battle royale mode—it will also have a Creative mode competition with its own significant prize pool.
Epic Games has announced the Fortnite World Cup – Creative competition, which is focused on the game’s Minecraft-esque Creative building mode. Content creators have used the mode to devise challenges for other players to attempt, and now Epic Games has built a large-scale competition out of it with $3M at stake.
Fortnite will offer up five different Creative mode challenges between April 29 and June 7, each built by a different content creator. The first trial was built by FaZe Clan player “Cizzorz” (real name unknown), who will also judge this stage of the competition. Cizzorz is already well-known for his Creative mode obstacle courses, for which he provides prizes for the best recorded times.

All told, 15 total players will qualify across the five challenges and earn a trip to the Fortnite World Cup in New York City from July 26-28 to compete for a share of the $3M prize pool.
The Fortnite World Cup – Creative prize pool pales in comparison to the $30M that will be awarded through the event’s battle royale competition, but is still a huge amount of money for an esports tournament. It also shows that Epic Games is finding additional ways to build competition around its game—and additional ways to award that $100M that the publisher committed to the first year of Fortnite esports.
