Fortnite announced a ground-breaking partnership with the Liverpool professional football team earlier today.
This cross-promotion between the popular Battle Royale game and the famous English football club spawned an online Fortnite tournament. In the competition, players will compete to earn a brand new football-themed emote before it is available for purchase in the Fortnite Item Shop.
Raise The Cup Tournament
The Fortnite x Liverpool Raise The Cup competition will feature a squads format. Fortnite has not hosted a competitive squads tournament since Chapter 2 – Season 1.
