G'day, my names ttvLeftRightGN

3 months ago on Jan 26/27 2019 myself and 500 other Australians participated in the Fortnite lan summer smash event at the Australian Open... the top 100 that qualified and made it into the finals were told that the prize money was $1000 aud and i happen to have made it through to the finals myself but have yet to receive any money along side about 20 other players possible even more and when myself and the others reached out to all the competitive supports we heard back nothing and then i started to try and email epics different support where i was given the response that this was not and epic games sponsored tournament BUT i kept in contact with a couple of the blokes i met there and one of them who got paid was paid directly from Epic Games, inc (as seen below). It has been 3 months since the event finished 90 [DAYS]. there are around 20 people who have NOT been paid with a total earning of over $100,000 combined as shown in a quick list we tried to all put together for someone at epic to see but we have all been pretty much ignored upon trying to make contact, here is just a couple picture regarding whats happened as proof.
