Original Story
The seventh edition of the weekly KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament hosted by YouTuber Daniel "KEEMSTAR" Keem and competitive gaming tournament platform UMG brought the community another day full of action packed battle royale action to enjoy. With 64 high profile content creators, entertainers and professional players competing for the right to call themselves KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament Champions and a share of the $20,000 grand prize, there was plenty on the line for today's competition.
Meeting in the grand finals of the seventh iteration of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament was the FaZe Clan duo of Tfue and Dennis "Cloak" Lepore and the duo of Team SoloMid member HighDistortion and streamer Avxry. Two-time KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament champions Tfue and Cloak of FaZe Clan made their way to the grand finals of today's event with an impressive winners bracket run going undefeated. Suffering a defeat at the hands of FaZe Clan in the winners bracket final, the duo of HighDistortion and Avxry were looking for revenge in the grand finals after taking out the Team SoloMid duo of Ali "Myth" kabbani and Hamlinz in the losers bracket finals.

The first game of Week 7 of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament saw Tfue and Cloak of FaZe Clan secure 20 kills to grab a seven kill lead heading into the second match of the championship round, as HighDistortion and Avxry were able to collect 13 kills in the first match.
Unfortunately for HighDistortion and Avxry, they both suffered early eliminations at Tilted Towers that sealed their fate and gave the FaZe Clan duo of Tfue and Cloak their third KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament Championship overall in the history of the popular competitive battle royale event and take home the $10,000 grand prize.
However, HighDistortion impressed mightily in his very first appearance in the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament, as the Team SoloMid streamer set the single player kill record for the event with 24 kills during one of his matches in today.
With three KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament titles under their belts, it is safe to say that Tfue and Cloak have thrusted FaZe Clan to the very top of the young competitive scene for Epic Games' massively popular battle royale game
