Fortnite: FNCS All-Star Showdown Play-In Recap & Results

ESTNN recaps all of the FNCS All-Star Showdown Play-In action from the weekend.


Competitive Fortnite solo tournaments have returned in a significant way. This past weekend marked the beginning of the inaugural FNCS All-Star Showdown, a competition where Fortnite’s best players of the last two seasons will duel for their share of $3M USD. The top 15 teams from the Season 5 and Season 6 Trio Finals automatically guaranteed their seat in this season’s FNCS All-Star Solo Championship. With 90 players already decided per region, only ten spots remained for others looking to take advantage of the opportunity.

That is where the FNCS All-Star Showdown Play-In came into effect. Thousands of competitors across Fortnite’s seven worldwide server regions endured a grueling four-round gauntlet with hopes of attaining one of ten spots. Doing so would enter them into the Solo Championship, where they have a chance to showcase their skills against their region’s cream of the crop. Who triumphed in the most challenging tournament thus far of Season 7? Let’s find out which players are moving on to the Solo Championship.

Europe

Two-time FNCS Finalist hycr1s triumphed in round four of the European play-in round. It was a valiant effort that saw the German player compile 112 points, 13 eliminations and one Victory Royale. He showcased his skill in solos and is one of many dark horses going into next weekend. Veno, a player disqualified last season for account sharing, rebounded nicely with a second-place finish in the play-in. Redemption will be on his mind heading into the Solo Championship.

Vortex stole the show with his impressive slaying ability. He managed 21 eliminations, which led all players and settled for a fourth-place finish.
