"Did Epic accidentally add an extra zero?" ā All of Twitter
Ā
Nope. Epic Games announced a $100,000,000 prize pool for their Hunger Games-esque video game Fortnite yesterday.
Ā
The $100M prize pool dwarfs all other esports prizes - in 2017, the top 10 esports games gave out $91M combined.
Ā
Fortnite is going #viral. 680,000 concurrent viewers tuned in to watch an open competition hosted by beloved-streamer Ninja last month, beating his own record of 660k from March where he played with Drake. Some context: The Super Bowl maxed out at 1.1M concurrent viewers.
Ā
You don't need a powerful gaming PC: Fortnite for iOS launched earlier this year and is live worldwide.
