The fifth edition of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament is currently in round 3 of the winners bracket and round 2 of the losers bracket meaning that there is still plenty of action to take place in today's KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament. However, the match of the day looks to have already been claimed by FaZe Clan players Tfue and Dennis "Cloak" Lepore, and Youtubers Nick Eh 30 and ONE-shot-Gurl, as the four players set the Friday Fortnite squad kill record with 53 kills in their last match.

The combined squad kill total for the two opposing teams had many wondering if the FaZe Clan duo and the duo of Nick Eh 30 and ONE-shot-Gurl had set the squad kill record with their 53 eliminations. However, the current squad kill record currently sits at 59 by a group of Playstation 4 players. While the two opposing duos of FaZe Clan players Tfue and Cloak and Nick Eh 30 and ONE-shot-Gurl did not set the overall Fortnite squad kill record, it easily set the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite squad kill record and will be extremely difficult for any of the other competitors in today's event to surpass.
FaZe Clan's Tfue secured 18 kills and Cloak collected 14 eliminations, while Nick Eh 30 contributed 11 kills and ONE-shot-Gurl added 10 eliminations to set the KEEMSTAR Tournament squad kill record.
FaZe Clan's Tfue and Cloak ultimately claimed the winners bracket round 2 victory over Nick Eh 30 and ONE-shot-Gurl with a 2-0 win, but they all can enjoy the fact that the four of them contributed to one of the most impressive squad kill matches in Fortnite history.
