Ninja and Hysteria Win the 8th KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament
By Zac Cameron ·
The popular pair have teamed up for a shot at the grand prize, which ended up paying off big time as they secure victory today.
The battle to get to the finals in the KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite Tournament is never an easy one, but this week Ninja and Hysteria managed to fight their way through the loser’s bracket to take out the top spot in a showdown that left us all on the edge of our seats as they claimed the $10,000 Grand Prize.
The final match was intense, with Ninja and Hysteria needing to win back to back matches in order to claim the victory, while their opponents, FaZe Clan duo Tfue and Cloak only needed the single win to claim what would be their third top finish. The first round saw the FaZe duo claim a one kill lead, but Ninja and Hysteria were able to bring it back just in time to reset the bracket.
They gathered around the campfire to stay alive and got out with just seconds with spare. @Ninja @JacobHysteria

The second match would be a winner take’s all showdown that ended up being just as intense as the previous one. Ninja and Hysteria took an impressive lead after the first round, and when both FaZe members were eliminated early in the second, the deficit proved impossible to overcome. This victory hands Ninja and Hysteria their first Friday Fortnite championship, and gave a measure of revenge to Ninja on the foes who defeated him way back in Week 3.
YOUR $20,000 @KEEMSTAR FRIDAY #FORTNITE CHAMPIONS, @Ninja & @JacobHysteria.
