Convertibles stated in the announcement of BaL and FreaxS as the first two members of the MorningStars Black team that the duo will compete and represent Samsung in the European, North America and Korean regions.
The formation of the MorningStars Black team is the second major Fortnite related project that Samsung has partaken in, as the popular mobile phone company partnered with Epic Games to create the exclusive Galaxy skin that would be available for players who played the battle royale title on the new Galaxy Note 9 phone.
Now, Samsung has entered the esports side of the community for the extremely popular battle royale game and will be looking to have their two new players for the MorningStars Black team propel them to the top of the competitive scene for Fortnite.
With the eight week Summer Skirmish Series hosted by Epic Games that will see $8,000,000 awarded in prize money upon its completion currently seeing its last event taking place at PAX West with a $1,500,000 tournament, the excitement for the esports scene of Fortnite is at an all time high, and Samsung is seeing now as the perfect time and opportunity to claim a piece of the scene with the formation and announcement of its MorningStars Black team.
