Fortnite Hearts Wild Cup: Schedule, format, rules, prizes, more

Valentine's day is almost here and that, of course, means firing up Fortnite for the Hearts Wild Cup... wait, what?

Okay so it isn't the usual thing to do but these aren't usual times. The chances of you asking your date to go anywhere, at least in the real world, is quite unlikely, what with all that pandemic stuff. So a Duos Fortnite tournament is probably the next best thing, especially when you can win some sweet exclusive Valentine's day themed cosmetics.
