By Nicholas Barth ·
The Week 1 KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite UMG Tournament Champions of NICKMERCS and SypherPK will not be competing as a team for the first time Friday, June 29th in the history of the popular event.
Week 8 of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament hosted by YouTuber and DramaAlert host Daniel "KEEMSTAR" Keem and competitive gaming platform UMG will be taking place on Friday, June 29th.
The bracket for this week's KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament consists of many high profile players returning from past weeks to compete for a share of the $20,000 prize pool and the title of KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament Champions.
Two of these returning players from past weeks of the event are 100 Thieves content creator NICKMERCS and Luminosity Gaming content creator SypherPk. The well known Fortnite community members made history by securing the very first KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite championship in Week 1 and showed the world that the competitive community of the popular battle royale game from Epic Games was hungry for this kind of competition between the biggest stars the title has to offer.
NICKMERCS and SypherPK have since played as a duo for each of the following six weeks of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament. However, the Week 1 champions will not be playing as team for the very first time in the history of the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament in Week 8. SypherPK will be competing with FaZe Clan professional player Jaomock, while NICKMERCS will be competing in today's competition with fellow 100 Thieves member and professional player for the organization Parallax.
While the departure of one of the most popular teams that has competed in the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament is a major storyline line on its own for the competitive community of the battle royale game, the fact that NICKMERCS and SypherPK will be facing off against each other in the first round of Week 8 amplifies the friendly bragging rights that the two players have the chance to obtain with a victory over their former teammate.
Looking to recapture the magic that led them both to a Week 1 KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament Championship, NICKMERCS and SypherPK will both have a tall task in front of them with their new teammates in defeating their former championship duo partner in the first round of what is sure to be a day full of very entertaining competitive battle royale action.
