The quest to make Fortnite competitive: Fortnite Fridays, the Summer Skirmish and the Pro Am - Video

What if we told you that as many as 8.8 million unique viewers were watching the same Fortnite competition every Friday. A tournament that’s not even run by Fortnite developer Epic Games, but an unaffiliated YouTuber.

And just recently, Epic pledged to sink $100,000,000 into Fortnite esports for the 2018/2019 season alone, birthing the Fornite World Cup sometime in the future and the 18-week Fornite Summer Skirmish.

Whether it’s esports or not — Fortnite is popping off.
