Epic Game has confirmed that the company is canceling the 2021 Fortnite World Cup. The COVID-19 pandemic will put the health of participants at risk if the 2021 tournament is played in a classic LAN.
Fortnite officials say holding tournaments will remain a top priority for the company in the future, but as the virus spreads, the safety of technical staff and tournament participants comes first. Due to the pandemic, next year, not only the World Cup is canceled, but also other large-scale events. However, the online competition will run on a set schedule.
In 2020, Epic Games canceled Fortnite’s Main Event of the Year due to COVID-19.
A year earlier, the championship was held at the Arthur Ashe tennis stadium, which is located in New York. Nyhrox and Aqua took first place in doubles and split the $ 3 million grand prize between the two. And in the single-player mode, the winner was a player under the nickname Bugha, who also received a prize of $ 3 million.
