By Nicholas Barth ·
YouTuber Daniel "KEEMSTAR" Keem, the man behind UMG Friday Fortnite, has announced another competitive battle royale event in the Saturday 100K Realm Royale Tournament.
DramaAlert Host KEEMSTAR has been the mastermind behind the widely successful KEEMSTAR UMG Friday Fortnite Tournament that has taken place the past eight weeks with Week 9 currently taking place. Working to bring the brightest stars in the gaming world together, KEEMSTAR has helped to skyrocket and revolutionize the competitive scene for Epic Games' popular game in the KEEMSTAR UMG Friday Fortnite Tournament.
Now the popular YouTuber has set his sights on creating another competitive event for the last player surviving genre that aims to see millions tune in to watch in the same way that the community does for Friday Fortnite.
Friday, July 6th saw KEEMSTAR announce the Saturday 100K Realm Royale Tournament with the first edition of the Saturday 100K Realm Royale Tournament taking place on July 14th at 4 PM EST.

With a prize pool of $100,000, the Saturday Realm Royale event will begin with a prize five times larger than the current $20,000 prize pool that has been the norm for Friday Fortnite since week 3 of the event.
No other information regarding the format, competitors, rules or partnered organization to help run the newly announced event was revealed by YouTuber in regards to the Saturday 100K Realm Royale Tournament.
However, with the large amount of success that his first event has seen in its young lifespan, it would not be surprising to see KEEMSTAR utilize the same recipe for success that Friday Fortnite has used. This points to the Saturday 100K Realm Royale Tournament likely focusing on having the biggest names from YouTube and Twitch, professional Realm Royale players and even celebrity guests competing in adrenaline pumping action that prioritizes fast paced play and the collection of a large amount of eliminations.
With the UMG Friday Fortnite Tournament and the Saturday 100K Realm Royale Tournament, KEEMSTAR has made major strides in advancing the competitive scenes for two of the biggest titles in the battle royale genre.
