The Victory Cash Cups are back in Fortnite for Chapter 5 Season 1. We have the format, schedule, prize pool and points distribution for you and show you how to take part in the Victory Cash Cups.
The Victory Cash Cups continue in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1! They're a great way to earn some cash in Fortnite. But let's take a closer look at the tournament series...
Fortnite Victory Cash Cups Explained
The principle behind the Victory Cash Cups in Fortnite is similar to that of the normal Cash Cups, with just one small change. While the normal Cash Cups are played for points in the 2nd round and the overall result of all 6 rounds counts, the Victory Cash Cup is only about an Victory Royale.
As in the normal Cash Cups, you must first qualify for round 2, but here you can win a cash prize for each Victory Royale.
This season, the Victory Cash Cups are back for Battle Royale in Solo format and Zero Build in Duo format.
Each competitive stage of Round 1 of the corresponding Victory Cash Cup will last approximately two hours. Players may participate in a maximum of seven matches during the Round 1 competition stage.
Each competition stage of Round 2 will then last approximately one hour. There, players can participate in a maximum of three matches.
The following number of players will advance from Round 1 to Round 2 in Battle Royale Solo mode:
- EU: Top 11,500 Advance
- NA: Top 9,000 Advance
- BR, ASIA, ME: Top 1,250 Advance
- OCE: Top 750 Advance
The following number of players advance from round 1 to round 2 in Zero Build Duo mode:
