Epic Games' final tournament for the highly popular Fortnite Summer Skirmish will be worth $1,500,000 and will be open to all PAX West attendees to compete in.
Players who take part in the PAX West Summer Skirmish tournament will battle it out through a three stage solo event that will see the top 99 players compete for grand prize of $225,000 during the Grand Finals of the PAX West Summer Skirmish tournament on Monday, September 3rd.
With the opportunity for any player attending at PAX West to be crowned a Fortnite Summer Skirmish champion, a multitude of professional players expected to make the trip to compete and $1,500,000 up for grabs, there will be plenty of action to witness at the PAX West Fortnite Summer Skirmish tournament.
Luckily for viewers they will have two experienced Fortnite esports casters and popular community members of the battle royale title casting all of the action. Both Jack "CouRage" Dunlop and Ben "DrLupo" Lupo announced on Wednesday, August 29th that they will be the casting duo for the PAX West tournament.
If you're heading to PAX West, expect to see me there - casting the final week of #SummerSkirmish along side @CouRageJD!

So freaking excited. Multiple days of competition. $1.5 million on the line.
Hope to see you there! (And don't worry, it will be streamed as well!)
Couldn’t be more excited to announce I’ll be heading to my first ever PAX event this weekend to commentate the $1.5 million Fortnite Summer Skirmish event!

Can’t wait to see it all unfold. LET’S GOOOOOOOO!
This will not be the first time that Courage and DrLupo have been behind the casting microphone for a competitive Fortnite event. Both popular Twitch streamers casted the Ninja Vegas 18' event hosted by Tyler "Ninja" Belvins and have been guests casters for past weeks of the Summer Skirmish. DrLupo was also one of the main casters for the Fortnite Pro-Am that took place at E3 2018.
Due to the community holding the casting skills of CouRage and DrLupo in high regards for competitive events for Epic Games' battle royale game, viewers will likely be very pleased to see that the two influencers will be the ones relaying all of the action from the PAX West Fortnite Summer Skirmish tournament to them this upcoming weekend.
