Keemstar’s Friday Fortnite tournament returns on Friday, May 31st! Some of the biggest names in Fortnite will compete for glory as they fight it out for first place.

Friday Fortnite was a mainstay fixture of competitive Fortnite in the early days, but it faded away as Epic took direct control of the scene. With funding from FaZe Clan, the event returns once again!

We’ve got all the information on schedules, streams, brackets, and more.

When does Friday Fortnite start?

Friday Fortnite returns on May 31st. The event begins at 1 PM PST/4 PM EST/9 PM BST and will continue from there for at least a few hours (3-6 hours, depending on how fast the brackets play out).

The whole thing will be streamed from UMG’s official Twitch channel as they are the organization running the event. You can see the stream embedded below:

Who will we see playing in Friday Fortnite?

Some of the best and brightest Fortnite has to offer will be competing for prize money. With $20,000 dollars up for grabs, you can expect every player to give it their all.

Ninja, Fortnite’s biggest entertainer & pro player, will be making an appearance. Alongside the star, you will see the likes of Nickmercs, Ricegum, MrBeast, and more!

One major exception for this Friday Fortnite is that Tfue & Cloak will not be playing. The duo currently holds the record for ‘most winning’ Friday Fortnite duo.

For a full list of all contestants, you can scroll through the bracket below.

Full Friday Fortnite Bracket

This is a live bracket which will be updated throughout the event. It’s a great way to follow along with the results when you can’t watch the stream.

The bracket is interactive and can be scrolled in all four directions on any platform of your choice. The bracket is created and run by UMG using the Challonge bracket creation tool.

What’s the Friday Fortnite Format?

It’s baaaaaaack! Wooh!

Friday Fortnite will continue to follow the classic Fortnite style of play.

Instead of the point based placement system we are used to from the Fortnite World Cup, Friday Fortnite will be played via public matches. Many viewers have stated they enjoy watching this format much more than the FWC.

In this format, players will enter a Squads lobby with the other Duo. They will then start a public Squads match.

The teams compete against each other for kills. The team with the most kills wins the round. This is done twice and then kills are added up. The team with the most kills over two rounds moves on.

As the duos are in the same Squad, the players cannot harm the gameplay of the other duo. They can steal kills, but the following are examples of what is off limits:

  • Breaking other duo’s builds to make them die or fall
  • Preventing movement by body-blocking
  • Boogie-bombing the other duo
  • Blocking the other duo by building in front of them

Keep in mind that accidents do happen and all cases are thoroughly reviewed by UMG staff.

You could win $10,000 just for watching!

FaZe Banks will be providing one lucky fan with a massive $10,000 dollar prize. The person will be chosen at random during a random time of the Friday Fortnite stream.

There’s no strings attached. As long as you watch the event, you will have a chance to win the money. Yet another incentive to watch this major event!

Keemstar revealed this development on his latest episode of DramaAlert.

Fortnite Chapter 3 has just entered its second season, and it’s off to a great start. Here is when Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 ends and Season 3 starts.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 ended without much warning ahead of time from Epic Games. In fact, only a day before the Season ended did we get an announcement for Season 2.

Regardless, Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 is off to a hot start. We have new POIs, weapons, and a flashy new Battle Pass. There’s also no building to start and an ongoing turf war.

Whether you love or hate the new season, you might be wondering when the next one will start.

When Does Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 End?

fortnite season 2 the foundation destroyed

Fortnite Season 2 will end on June 3, 2022. This means the second season of the new chapter will last a little less than three months making it fairly short compared to Season 1.

This end date was found in the in-game files by data miners. Unlike last season where Epic Games listed two season end dates, there is only one end date this time around.

When Does Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 Start?

New Fortnite seasons usually start within 24 hours after the previous one ends. Players can expect Chapter 3 Season 3 to start on June 4.

That being said, leaker Shiina believes there will be an extended period of downtime after the season ends to prep for Season 3. We will know more about this delay as time draws closer.

Is There a Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 Live Event?

The final update for Fortnite Season 2 is here and we now have confirmation that, yes, there will be a live event!

The Season 2 live event will likely focus on stopping the new Doomsday Device from going off at Loot Lake. It is a very similar tower to that of Midas’ Doomsday Device in Chapter 2 Season 2.

What Season is Fortnite on?

Fortnite is currently in Chapter 3 Season 2. This is the second season of the third chapter which started after Chapter 2 Season 8. While most players refer to this season as “Season 2”, it’s technically Season 20.

There were 10 seasons in Chapter 1 and 8 seasons in Chapter 2.

For now, that’s everything we know about Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2. This chapter will likely span the next year or so and will be filled with exciting events.

We will keep you updated on when Fortnite Season 3 starts. For more Fortnite, check out the best controller settings for Chapter 3, and stay tuned for more news and guides.

Fortnite Season 2 adds not one but two Marvel characters to the game via the Battle Pass, but players might not be familiar with Prowler.

Season 2 started off hot with an amazing battle pass and a shocking removal of the game’s iconic building mechanic. Players were even more excited to see the Battle Pass had two crossover characters.

The first is Doctor Strange who has a new movie releasing in May. However, players may not be super familiar with the second crossover character. And it was surprisingly released alongside the Fortnite v20.20 update.

Prowler is an alias used by a number of people in the Marvel universe. But he most recently appeared in Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse as Miles Morales’ uncle. And the in-game skin is a similar depiction of the character.
