Mindfreak Announces Competitive Fortnite Battle Royale Team
By Nicholas Barth ·
With the interest of competitive Fortnite at an all time high, Mindfreak has become the latest esports organization to sign a competitive team to represent it in the Fortnite esports scene.
The competitive scene for Fortnite Battle Royale has seen tremendous growth in recent weeks, as Epic Games has pledged to fund competitive Fortnite events taking place in 2018-2019 with a $100,000,000 prize pool. The KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament weekly competitive series has also shown that millions of viewers are excited to tune into consistent competitive Fortnite action when pro players , such as FaZe Clan's TFUE and Dennis "Cloakzy" Lepore and Team SoloMid's Ali "Myth" Kabbani, Hamlinz and Daequan, are competing for thousands of dollars.
With the likes of Team SoloMid, FaZe Clan, Red Reserve and Lighting Pandaz all having signed professional teams, other organizations have taken notice and are very interested in entering the competitive scene for Epic Games' hit title. The latest team to announce its entrance into Fortnite esports is Mindfreak, as the Australian based esports organization announced its signing of the Junior Mafia OCE Fortnite roster earlier Monday, May 28th.
The Mindfreak Fortnite roster consists of ezupAK, neco, Twizz, Vince, Westy and will be coached by CptnAirwick. Deciding to stay close to home, Mindfreak opted to bring on one of the most talented rosters in the Oceanic region to represent them in the same way they have done with their Call of Duty World League team.
With the popularity of the battle royale game not looking to slow down anytime soon and the continued interest into the game's esports scene growing, the newly minted Mindfreak team will now have a prime opportunity to compete for a share of the $100,000,000 prize pool from Epic Games.
No official details regarding how exactly the professional scene will operate in regards to the massive $100,000,000 prize pool have been announced, but that has not stopped organizations, such as Mindfreak, from forming teams to begin building chemistry in order to be ahead of their competitors when they enter the competitive scene of the popular battle royale game.
With the Mindfreak competitive Fortnite team looking to represent the Ocenaic region in the title's esports scene, it will be interesting to see which teams will rise up to be the leaders of competitive Fortnite in other regions, such as North America and Europe.
