BLAST will host three Major Fortnite tournaments in 2023

The good news continues for the Fortnite competitive scene worldwide! BLAST, one of the world’s largest esports event organizers, announced the renewal of its partnership with Fortnite for this season, 2023. Thanks to this, it is now three years in a row that BLAST will organize the tournaments of the fabulous BR from Epic Games.

This partnership and the event that will be played at Gamers8 and RedBull Contested are more than clear proof that big brands and organizers continue to believe in the Fortnite competitive scene. In addition, this may make many organizations that decided to move away from the scene reconsider their decision.

BLAST announces the renewal of its partnership with Fortnite

As we mentioned, one of the world’s most important esports tournament organizers, BLAST, has announced through an official statement that it will collaborate with Fortnite for the third year in a row to organize the FNCS.

In addition to announcing the collaboration, BLAST points out that there are $10,000,000 in prizes to be distributed, and, in addition, three Fortnite Majors will be organized before the FNCS Global Championship 2023. As in previous editions, the latter will be a LAN format event played in Copenhagen, Denmark. The date of the FNCS Season 2023 Grand Final will be October 13-15, with a prize pool of $4,000,000 to be distributed.

Fortnite Majors Schedule

• We start with the FNCS – Major 1, which has already ended in each region, and some direct slots were awarded for the season’s final championship.
• The FNCS – Major 2 will occur on May 13 and 14, 2023.
• Finally, the FNCS – Major 3 will be played between July and August. However, there are still no details about it.

Strong ties between BLAST and Epic

There is no doubt that this announcement makes us see how strong the ties between BLAST and Epic Games are. But first, we must remember that BLAST has organized all large-scale Fortnite events since 2021. After that, in 2022, it was the same way, and after two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, they managed to organize a face-to-face event in the United States last November.

There is no doubt that we all know the high level that BLAST has in terms of organizing large tournaments. For example, every year, we see how successful all their BLAST Premier circuit tournaments are in CS:GO. On the other hand, we have two years of watching how FNCS has taken off in a big way, and, in addition, they organize Dota 2, VALORANT, and FIFA tournaments.

Leo Matlock from BLAST mentions that extending the partnership for the third consecutive year shows how much the FNCS has grown during the first two years. He also points out that Major 1 was successful, and they are looking forward to an action-packed and exciting 2023.
