This was the case for champion tendons, who had qualified for this week's KEEMSTAR Saturday Fortnite UMG Tournament through one of the qualifiers for the event and then proceeded to make an impressive winners bracket run with shawnclaudetv en route to their championship victory.

Now, tendons and shawnclaudetv will have the chance to compete in Week 8 of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament and make their mark in the competitive scene of the popular battle royale game against some of the largest influencers and most talented players the Fortnite community has to offer, such as Tyler "Ninja" Belvins, Team SoloMid player Ali "Myth" Kabbani, the FaZe Clan duo of Tfue and Cloak and many more. 

With a shot at beating some of the biggest names in the world of Twitch and Youtube and taking home a share of the $20,000 grand prize, tendons and shawnclaudetv will no doubt be extremely excited and motivated to make a large splash in their debut in the competitive battle royale event.
