Fortnite’s popularity has skyrocketed since creator Epic Games transformed it into a battle royale game in 2017. For a game where the main goal is to be the last person standing in a 100-player skirmish, it’s a surprise that Fortnite hasn’t spawned a headline esports tournament in the UK.
That’s about to change with the arrival of the Red Bull Contested event on June 10. The tournament promises to be the first major live Fortnite esports showdown to be held in the UK. Tickets for the event, which will take place at the McEwan Hall in Edinburgh, go on sale on April 10.
