[2019] Secret Skirmish Schedule Update

Hello Competitive Fortnite Fans,

The original Secret Skirmish announcement teased “additional operations” to be held in the evenings after the primary Battle Royale competitions each day.

The initial plan was to hold a non-Battle Royale competition each night after the Solos and Duos matches to illustrate more competitive options in the Fortnite competitive ecosystem. Unfortunately, after testing on-site, we ran into technical issues that prevent us from holding these bonus competitions with the confidence needed to produce the show. We are removing the secret evening “operations” from the original schedule, and will continue with the Solos and Duos competition as planned.

The $25,000 prize pool that we had originally set aside for the additional evening competitions will be reallocated into the Duos prize pool. A total of $100,000 will now be up for grabs in the Duos competition, up from $75,000 previously. Solos will remain at the same prizepool with $400,000 up for grabs.

We plan to revisit some of these alternative competitions very soon. We also plan to utilize the in-game tournament system for more concrete support of these kind competitions later in the year.
