Fortnite has been making waves in the esports world<\/a>, not only due to the masses of people playing the Epic Games’ battle royale game title, but also due to the huge amounts of money Epic Games pumped into its competitive tournaments. The biggest of these being the Fortnite World Cup, which almost set the record for the largest prize pool before Dota 2 reclaimed the crown with $34,330,069.00 in the pot for International 2019.<\/p>\nBut sometimes it’s not all about the money you receive, but rather about the money you give away, especially to those in need, which is exactly what Twitch Rivals Community Charity Showdown event was all about, as it featured some of the biggest names in the Fortnite community entertaining the fans in a bid to raise funds for their charity.<\/p>\n
The whole idea behind the tournament was for Fortnite pros to assemble their four-man squad by selecting players from the Fortnite community based on the qualification process, which took place earlier in the week. <\/p>\n
While hardly seen as a serious competitive event, it was Team Zayt which showed the most competitive spirit to triumph and claim $125,000 for St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital, which is a leading children’s hospital which treats the toughest childhood cancers and paediatric diseases.<\/p>\n
The four-man squad, which consisted of Zayt, Brian “zyfa” Wielgolaski, casqer and mayo proved to be far above all of their competition, scoring 121 points, 42 more as compared to the second-placed Team Hippiehabitat, which won $75,000 to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.<\/p>\n
