Original Story

Friday, June 1st will see the fourth edition of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament hosted by YouTuber Daniel "KEEMSTAR" Keem and UMG take place, as 32 of the biggest content creators and pro players from Twitch and YouTube will be competing in 16 teams of two to claim a share of the $20,000 prize pool and the title of KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament Champions. 

The KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament will follow the competitive UMG ruleset. This consists of the two opposing teams of two playing a squads game together. Whichever duo is able to collect the most kills in two matches is declared the winner. If the kill totals are tied after the two games, a third match will be played to determine the victor. Teams are not allowed to engage in any activity that may lead to the death of their opponents, such as destroying their structures or throwing a boogie bomb at them. 

Week 4 of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament will feature the same winners and losers bracket for competition from past weeks. However, due to concerns from the community that the past three weeks worth of tournaments have taken too long, especially in the losers bracket, a major rule change has been made. The fourth KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament will have the losers bracket matches played in the fast paced Blitz Mode, where matches usually do not take longer that 15 minutes. Winners bracket matches will still be played in normal mode. 

UMG will be hosting a centralized stream that will covering all of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament action. You can view an embedded version of the UMG stream below.
