If you want to dabble in tournaments, the Fortnite Solo Victory events are a perfect way to do it, as the requirements to enter are simple and you can compete from the comfort of your home.
The main incentive to compete in the Fortnite Solo Victory Cup is that you can earn prize money by getting Victory Royales rather than a grueling three-hour period of competition with an aggregate scoring system.
With that said, let's break down all the key information you need to know if you want to take part in the Solo Victory Cup in Fortnite. While you're here, consider checking out the new POIs added with Chapter 5 Season 4.
Fortnite Solo Victory Cup schedule and format
As the name implies, this event is a Solos competition in which players will have to rely on their skill to succeed. If you're a Zero Build player, you'll be happy to hear that both regular Battle Royale and Zero Build events are being held.
The Solo Victory Cup offers weekly opportunities to earn some cash
The event is broken down into two rounds. The first involves players competing for a maximum of seven hours during a two-hour window, earning points based on their performance.
Following that, the top-performing players will move on to round 2, where they'll be able to start earning cash prizes if they get Victory Royales. In total, the number of players to qualify per region is the following:
- EU: Top 15,000 advance
- NA: Top 10,000 advance
- BR: Top 2,500 advance
- ME: Top 2,000 advance
- OCE, ASIA: Top 1500 advance
In round 2, you'll have one hour to compete in up to three matches, so the chances to earn a Victory Royale are slimmer.
The Victory Solo Cup events are going to be held weekly, this is the full schedule:
- September 9: Rounds 1 and 2
- September 16: Rounds 1 and 2
- September 23: Rounds 1 and 2
