The highly popular KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament hosted by YouTuber Daniel "KEEMSTAR" Keem and competitive gaming tournament platform UMG will see its fifth edition take place Friday, June 8th. Many high profile YouTubers, Twitch streamers and professional players will be making a return to the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament this week to claim their second or first KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament Championship. Other competitors will be looking to make a splash in their KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament debut.
Week 5 of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament will feature the same ruleset as Week 4. This ruleset consists 16 teams of two competing in squads games with their opponents. The winner is then determined by which duo is able to collect the most kills in two matches. If the kill totals are tied after two games, a third match will be played to decide the victor. Players 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.
Victorious teams will continue to fight their way through the winners bracket of the event, while defeated teams will have to survive in the losers bracket of the event to make a trip to the grand finals. Winners bracket matches will be played in the game's normal mode, while losers bracket matches will be played in the title's blitz mode in order to avoid a long tournament run time.
