The Fortnite Frosty Frenzy is essentially four tournaments per region – with two sessions, each of which is comprised of two rounds, held on both Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

This is very much an open tournament, with no restrictions on who can enter, and the $5m prize pool spread evenly across regions and with 400 of the 500 top teams at the end of Round 2 walking away with money.<\/p>\n

Everyone who takes part will earn a Skull Claus Spray.<\/p>\n

Whether this is in addition to the Winter Royale, which historically takes place later in the month, and last year had a $15m prize pool spread across all the events, is yet to be seen.<\/p>\n

Teams<\/h3>\n

With just three days until the events, many players will be scrambling around looking for their third. <\/p>\n

We have no confirmed teams yet but here are what a few of the pros are up to.<\/p>\n

Wolfiez of Excel Esports tweeted that he and CRR of FNATIC, were looking for a third.<\/p>\n

NRG’s Benjyfishy has said he is partnering with MrSavage and are in search of a third. C’mon boys settle any differences and get the band back together.<\/p>\n

Christmas time can be funny season, especially when it comes to Fortnite, so could we see the return of some Fortnite OGs for a swansong? A Trio of Ninja, DrLupo, and TimTheTatman would break the internet if not exactly the leaderboards.<\/p>\n

Prize pool and distribution <\/h3>\n

There is a total of $5m one prizing but that is spread across all the regions and up to 400 teams will earn cash at the end of each Session.<\/p>\n

In a break from tradition, all regions are also awarded the same prize money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
