Razer Invitational Fortnite Tournament

The Razer Invitational Fortnite Tournament will start on December 5th, shortly after the new season is set to start, and last six weeks.

Razer plans for each week to support 5,000 players and will be supporting the tournament with large cash prizes and Razer, IUntel, Seagate, and Pringles brand hardware and products for competitors to win.

In addition to the potential prizes for competitors, Razer also announced their intention to live stream these Fortnite tournaments on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook Gaming, and give viewers a chance to win prizes both through voting for an MVP and during sudden spot giveaways.

Sign-ups opened up just yesterday and are currently available at razerinvitational.com with additional information available through the corresponding Facebook page. Each week of the tournament will hold three days of competitions, with finals held every Saturday.

This means that losing one week of tournaments won’t spell the end for dedicated competitors, and everyone will have six chances to compete.

At this moment, further rules have not been released regarding this specific Fortnite tournament, though it’s expected that Razer will publish how exactly they will rank players during the competition soon. When released, players should be able to find them here.

Once the rules do finally get published it will be possible for players to understand whether or not this Razer Invitational Fortnite Tournament will more heavily emphasize eliminations or placement, in addition to seeing more specific information.
