Events

New Feature: Arena Game Mode (Solo & Duos)
Compete any time and gain ‘Hype’ to advance to higher leagues and unlock exclusive tournaments, such as the Fortnite World Cup Online Opens.
Each League is broken up into several Divisions, with players working their way from Open League to Contender League to Champion League.
Scoring will update from division to division, with an increasing amount of Bus Fare lost with each match at higher divisions.
Note: Matchmaking in Arena is based on players with similar Hype. As a result, players in higher divisions may experience longer than normal wait times before a match is found.
New Tournament: Luxe Cup (March 30th & 31st) [$100,000 in Cash Prizes!]
Duos Game Mode
Participation in this event requires players to have reached Contender League in Arena play prior to the start of the event.
The prize pool will be distributed across all server regions, with official rules and details released later this week.
Format:
March 30th - Round One: All Eligible Players
March 31st - Round Two: Top 3000 Players from Round One
