Today, Epic Games announced the inclusion of two-time Olympic gold medal-winning Snowboarder Chloe Kim into the Fortnite Icon Series.
The Icon cosmetic classification houses other well-known names such as LeBron James, Ariana Grande, Ninja, Marshmello, etc. Epic has done a great job working closely with these celebrities to capture their likeness and transfer it into Fortnite Battle Royale.
With each Icon Series collaboration comes a tournament where players can compete to win the cosmetic set for free. Enter the Chloe Kim Cup—Fortnite's first-ever competition where the building is not an option. The tournament begins Thursday, March 24, ahead of the scheduled Item Shop appearance on March 26; top-performing players will secure the base Chloe Kim outfit and back bling. Here is everything you need to know.

Fortnite's Chloe Kim Cup is the first no-build tournament in the game's lengthy history. Epic Games removed Fortnite's building mechanic to start Chapter 3 Season 2 as part of the central storyline. Players have reacted positively to the change–even going as far as to implore the developers to make a separate no-build game mode. In any case, this gimmick will only last for another six days.
The Chloe Kim Cup levels the playing field for all participants. It is a Duos tournament that follows a format similar to what we've seen before. Teams will compete in a maximum of ten matches across three hours. You can earn points via eliminations and placement.
Here's a quick recap of the format:
- Three-hour session
- A maximum of ten matches
- Points earned based on eliminations and placement
