FaZe Clan's Tfue and Cloak Win Second KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament
By Nicholas Barth ·
The FaZe Clan duo of Tfue and Cloak were able to survive another day of brutal competitive Fortnite action to become the first team to claim two KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament Championships.
Friday, June 8th saw the fifth edition of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament hosted by YouTuber Daniel "KEEMSTAR" Keem and UMG take place with 32 high profile content creators from Twitch and YouTube and professional players compete in 16 teams of two for the $10,000 grand prize and title of KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament Champions.
Looking to make KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament history, the FaZe Clan duo of Tfue and Dennis "Cloak" Lepore mounted an impressive run through the winners bracket of Week 5 of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament that saw the FaZe Clan duo meet the Team SoloMid duo of Daequan and CaMills who were coming hot off of a losers bracket run in the grand finals.
The Team SoloMid duo were able to collect the most kills in the first two matches of the grand finals in order to force a bracket reset. However, FaZe Clan's Tfue and Cloak would flip the script in the first match of the second grand finals series to take a 28-15 kill lead heading into the second match of the bracket reset. An early death by CaMills, and 11 quick kills by Tfue and Cloak secured the Week 5 KEEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament Championship for the FaZe Clan duo. The win also allowed Tfue and Cloak to become the first team to ever win two KEEMSTAR UMG Tournaments.

Becoming the first two-time KEEMSTAR Tournament Champions was not the only historic accomplishment that FaZe Clan's Tfue and Cloak were a part of in today's event, as the duo also was also a part of the squad that tied the PC Fortnite squad kill record with 53 eliminations in their match against YouTubers Nick Eh 30 and ONE_shot_Gurl.
With a second KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament Championship and a tied squad kill record for PC under their belts for today, it is safe to say that the FaZe Clan duo of Tfue and Cloak are on top of the Fortnite world currently.
