In the 2018 – 2019 season, Epic Games will provide $100,000,000 to fund prize pools for Fortnite competitions. We’re getting behind competitive play in a big way, but our approach will be different – we plan to be more inclusive, and focused on the joy of playing and watching the game.

Watch somebody hide in a bush for most of the game and then kill one person to win the game? Seems like an odd e-sport unless they change the objective.

If you're not thinking enough to look in bushes when the circle gets smaller you don't deserve to win.

If it's anything like competitive PUBG it'll be very passive/campy compared to a regular game.
