Typical Gamer and SoaR Thief to Defend KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Championship
By Nicholas Barth ·
The Week 2 KEEMSTAR UMG Friday Fortnite Tournament champions of YouTUbers Typical Gamer and SoaR Thief will be looking to defend their title in today's KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament action.
Popular YouTubers Typical Gamer and SoaR Thief come into today's third edition of the KEEMSTAR UMG Friday Fortnite Tournament as the defending champions, as the duo was able to capture the second ever KEEMSTAR UMG Friday Fortnite Championship with an impressive winners bracket run.
Typical Gamer and SoaR Thief did not come into last week's KEEMSTAR UMG Friday Fortnite Tournament as heavy favorites, but were seen as a potential sleeper pick thanks to their solid performance in the first ever KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament, as the duo made it to round 6 of the losers bracket. However, determined to show that their Week 1 play was not an out of the ordinary performance, the YouTubers were able to survive a bracket reset in the grand finals to defeat a momentum riding losers bracket team of Team SoloMid players Daequan and Hamlinz with a 2-0 victory.
With the grand prize of the third edition of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament having increased to $20,000 from $10,000 in Week 2 and $5,000 in Week 1, Typical Gamer and SoaR Thief will have to survive another brutal day of competitive Fortnite action against 30 other motivated content creators, as they look to claim the largest grand prize in the young life of the KEEMSTAR Tournament and become the first two time KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament Champions.
Typical Gamer will also be possibly looking to secure more winnings from the event to donate to charity, as the YouTuber donated his half of the $10,000 winnings from last week's KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament to charity and will have the chance to donate even more if he and Soar Thief can secure the $20,000 grand prize today.
Even with the likes of Tyler "Ninja" Belvins, Team EnVyUs player KingRichard, Team SoloMid players Ali "Myth" Kabbani, Hamlinz and Dakotaz, a whole host of FaZe Clan and OpTic Gaming Members and many other highly regarded players competing in today's tournament, Typical Gamer and SoaR Thief have shown that they should not be taken lightly when it comes to playing in the popular Tournament.
