What is the E3 Fortnite Tournament about?
How much is the prize money? In total, there is a pot of 3,000,000 US Dollars. The winning team receives a full million of that. However, not to line their own pockets. Instead, the money is shared among the team members, and each donates it to a charity of their choice.
Since each pro is paired with an amateur, the game should proceed quite casually and fun. So it’s a great time for all participants and viewers!
