Fortnite: Furious Wins NA East October DreamHack Online Open

ESTNN details the results from DreamHack’s fourth consecutive NA East competition.

Four months have passed in DreamHack’s Online Open Fortnite tournament series, which offers hundreds of thousands of dollars per month to the top players. In July, DreamHack committed to six months of solo competitions spread out across competitive Fortnite’s three most popular regions – NA East, NA West and Europe. With a prize pool of $250K USD per month and $1.75 million in total, players worldwide had the opportunity to earn themselves a ton of money and a spot in the DreamHack Hall of Fame. It was also a chance for previously unknown competitors to emerge into the spotlight with its open format.

Some of the world’s best players have claimed victory since the tournament kicked off in July. However, NA East players currently hold the highest win percentage across the entire series. Two NA East players — Alliege and SEN Aspect — competed and won the previous two NA West events. Marzz_OW and FNCS Chapter 2 – Season 3 winner G2 Coop won the last two NA East events, respectively.

The month of October saw several top NA East pros reach the Grand Finals after the open session and semi-finals. Scoped, Khanada, Riversan, Whofishy and several others reached the final session. The clock is quickly winding down with just a few months remaining. Let’s see which player triumphed in the fourth NA East DreamHack Open event.

The leaderboard in the NA East Grand Finals changed multiple times across the closing six matches. It was quite the battle until the final game, where Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS) Invitational Champion Furious sealed the deal. With two Victory Royales, the controller player pulled away on the leaderboard.  He earned just enough points in the final match. Despite the efforts of leaderboard lurkers skqttles, Reet and Degen, 309 points and 19 eliminations proved too much to overcome. Furious grabbed himself $10K USD as a result of his spectacular win. He joins G2 Coop and 100T Arkhram as the third player to win both an FNCS and DreamHack tournament.
