FaZe Names New Fortnite Player Ahead of 2019 Fortnite World Cup
By Nicholas Barth ·
FaZe Clan was one of the first organizations to sign a competitive Fortnite team, and now it has announced that a new player will be joining the FaZe Clan Fortnite team ahead of the 2019 Fortnite World Cup.
FaZe Clan has been on the leading organizations in the world of competitive Fortnite Battle Royale, as its members of Dennis "Cloak" Lepore and Tfue have captured two championships in the weekly KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament. The FaZe Clan Fortnite team is also likely looking forward to seeing the entirety of the FaZe Clan Fortnite roster see success in the future of professional Fortnite that is the recently announced 2019 Fortnite World Cup.
Today, FaZe Clan announced a new addition to its competitive team for Epic Games' popular battle royale game that will be beginning to prepare for the 2019 Fortnite World Cup.
Professional player Tennp0 will be joining the organization and teaming with Cloak, Tfue and Brendan "Joamock" O'Brien to compete in squad, duo and solo competitions. Thang "Spacelyon" Phan will be competing with the FaZe Clan roster, but will be specifically focusing solo and duo competitions, the organization announced on Twitter.
With the future of the professional scene for the battle royale game looking to focus heavily on solo and duo competitions currently, it looks as though players are beginning to focus their own efforts and practice time on playing in the two game modes that will likely be the center pieces of the 2019 World Cup, such as in the case of Spacelyon.
However with the announcement of the 2019 World Cup also stating that there will be opportunities for squads to grab a share of the $100,000,000 prize pool up for grabs, FaZe Clan looks to be ready to create highly competitive rosters for whatever formats that will be available for its professional team to compete in the 2019 World Cup.
Epic Games having finally revealed its plans for the competitive scene that will be funded by the $100,000,000 prize pool it has previously announced will likely be having other esports organizations, such as FaZe Clan, looking to solidfy and improve their rosters in preparation of the 2019 Fortnite World Cup.
