Fortnite Flakes Power Cup: Schedule

The Fortnite Flakes Power Cup will comprise a total of three stages and will commence from the 14th of July until the  28th of July. The exact times have yet to be announced but will most likely be regionally based.

The tournament will be open to teams playing on either PC or console platforms but there will be no cross-play between the groups.

PC and Console Groups will play on the same days for Stages 1 and 2 (but at different times).

Stage 1 (Qualifiers)

• 14th of July - Qualifier 1 (Rounds 1 & 2)
• 15th of July - Qualifier 2 (Rounds 1 & 2)

Fortnite Flakes Power Cup: Format and Scoring

The tournament will be completed in the stages previously mentioned. Each round of the Qualifiers will last approximately 3 hours and teams may participate in a maximum of ten matches.

At the conclusion of Round 2 of the applicable Qualifier, the top point-earning teams as listed on the Leaderboard will advance to Stage 2 and will be seeded into groups (i.e. a “Heat”). During this stage, teams will play up to six matches.

The top placing teams in each Heat in Stage 2 will progress to the Grand Finals.

For clarity, teams will only be allowed to enter one Qualifier for any given platform, so you can’t enter for both Qualifiers 1 and 2.
