The culmination of three days of adrenaline pumping Fortnite esports action and eight weeks of competition for the $8,000,000 Fortnite Summer Skirmish Series will take place on Monday, September 3rd at 11 AM PST at PAX West on the official Fortnite Twitch channel at twitch.tv/fortnite. 

All of the action from the PAX West Fortnite Summer Skirmish $1,500,000 tournament will be broadcasted from the Fortnite Fan Theater at the convention. Viewers will be able to catch all of the exciting action to see which player will be able to take home the grand prize of $225,000 on the Twitch channel for the popular battle royale game at twitch.tv/fortnite.

You can find an embedded version of the stream below when it is made available by Epic Games.

99 players will compete for a chance at the largest share of the $1,500,00 prize pool that will be up for grabs at the PAX West Fortnite Summer Skirmish tournament. These 99 players qualified for the grand finals of the event through securing a top 33rd finish during one of the three qualifying heats that have been held each night of PAX West. 

While a top placement at the end of the six matches that the grand finals of the event will consist of will net players a very large amount of money, every player who qualified for Monday's finals is guaranteed to walk away with $5,000. Every player that secures a Victry Royale during one of the six matches will also earn $25,000.

The format for the finals of the PAX West Fortnite Summer Skirmish tournament will consist of the same layout that has been used for the entirety of the event up until Monday. You can find the official format for the event below. 

"VICTORY ROYALE: +3 POINTS
2ND-3RD PLACE: +2 POINTS
4TH-10TH PLACE: +1 POINT
3-4 ELIMINATIONS: +1 POINT*
5-6 ELIMINATIONS: +2 POINTS*
7+ ELIMINATIONS: +3 POINTS*

*These points can only be earned once per match. For example, 10 eliminations would only earn you +3 points and any additional eliminations will not add points to your score."
