Competitive Fortnite season is finally here and DreamHack’s back with another $200K USD tournament.
It feels like an eternity since FNCS Chapter 2 – Season 7 concluded, where Epic Games dealt $3M USD to finalists worldwide. The competitive scene has turned the page to Chapter 2 – Season 8, where millions of dollars will be up for grabs over the next few months.
A new season of Fortnite Battle Royale means the return of DreamHack. Since early 2020, the Swedish production company has supported the Fortnite scene in infinitely valuable ways. From the initial DreamHack Open Solos event to DreamHack Open Duos and, more recently, the Trio Cash Cup Extra, this organization remains faithful to Fortnite players in two major regions.
In October, the DreamHack Duo Open returns with another $200K USD prize pool for the NA East and European regions. ESTNN has all of the information you need to know before it commences in just over a week.
