The champions of the Fortnite Fall Skirmish at TwitchCon last year who won $510,000, the two, like Ninja and Reverse2k, were expected to be on the bubble all day Friday trying to accumulate enough points through their 10 matches to advance. Coming off a third-place performance at the Fortnite Pro-Am in Los Angeles with celebrity basketball teammate Josh Hart, Tfue teamed with partner Dennis "Cloak" Lepore in front of a steady audience of more than 100,000 for the three-hour qualifier. While Ninja conducted his final run in private, the other biggest name in Fortnite, Turner "Tfue" Tenney, took a different approach in streaming his entire last-chance qualifier experience without any delay on Twitch. Following his team's failure to make it to New York, Ninja took to social media to inform his four million-plus followers on Twitter that although he didn't qualify for the World Cup, he will be appearing at the event in some capacity. Ninja didn't stream his attempt to qualify for the World Cup, keeping his potential qualification a secret from the Fortnite community at-large.Īfter three hours of games, Ninja and Reverse2k finished with 64 points, 25 shy of what they needed to make it to the World Cup finals. Alongside duos partner Malachi "Reverse2k" Greine (who qualified for the solo division), Ninja took to the online qualifiers a final time to see if he could advance to New York City.Īlthough he said he was ill heading into the final qualifying rounds, Ninja and Reverse2k passed through the preliminary rounds on Thursday to make the ultimate qualifier on Friday. Ninja, who was officially eliminated from the solo competition two weeks ago when he failed to qualify in the last individual qualifier, had one more chance to reach New York City in duos competition.

The champion of the solo competition will walk away with a life-changing grand prize of $3 million. The field for the biggest video game tournament of all time has been set, and the world's most recognizable gamer, Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, will not be there - at least as a competitor.įrom July 26 to 28, the Fortnite World Cup will take place at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City with $30 million on the line between its individual and duos events.
