Fortnite Champion Series changes format, keeps $10M prize pool

The Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS) is returning for 2023 — alongside its $10 million prize pool to be distributed through out the year. However, this year the FNCS Global Championship is reformatting to be more similar to other esports with a new major-focused structure.

The Fortnite Champion Series season will be split into three Majors that will run for a total of five weeks each. Duos will compete online to earn a spot for that week’s finals. Duos that compete in the weekly finals will earn Series Points based on their performance. The top 40 duos will automatically advance to the Grand Finals for that major. Teams ranked 41st through 90 will still have a chance to earn one of the final 10 spots during Surge Week.
