FNCS is an acronym representing the Fortnite Champion Series, which serves as the premier competitive tournament in Fortnite esports.
Epic Games launched this competitive Fortnite tournament series in 2019, coinciding with the game’s season X release.
Since its inception, FNCS has consistently organized tournaments featuring an open qualifying system throughout each season of the game.
In the present Fortnite season, Chapter Two, season six, FNCS has initiated its three-week qualification rounds running from April 22 through May 9.
The qualifiers take place across several global regions, including dual zones in North America, plus Europe, Brazil, Asia, and the Middle East. This season features a total prize pool of $3 million.
After the qualifying rounds conclude, a one-week hiatus follows. The semifinal competitions begin May 21 in the Middle East region, while other regions commence on May 22.
The championship finals are scheduled for the weekend of May 28 to 30.
While Epic Games promotes competitor streaming on Twitch during matches, viewers can also follow FNCS competitions on the official Fortnite Twitch channel.
Furthermore, Fortnite provides multiple language-specific channels for viewers who prefer non-English commentary.
