KEEMSTAR UMG Creative Destruction Tournament

Utilizing the same format that many other grassroots competitive battle royale tournaments have used in the past, the KEEMSTAR and UMG Creative Destruction Tournament saw teams of two compete in squads matches to secure the most kills in the span of two matches.

The Team Liquid duo of professional Fortnite players Jake "Poach" Brumleve and Noah "Vivid" Wright were able to advance to the Grand Finals of the KEEMSTAR battle royale event thanks to an impressive winners bracket run.

However, the Team Liquid duo of Poach and Vivid had to face a duo out for revenge in FaZe Clan Fortnite player Turner "Tfue" Tenney and Mason "Symfuhny" Lanier who fought their way to the Grand Finals of the KEEMSTAR and UMG Creative Destruction Tournament after being beaten by Vivid and Poach in the Winners Bracket Finals. 

Unfortunately for Tfue and Symfuhny, Vivid and Poach of Team Liquid were able to keep their stellar play up and were able to secure a 2-0 victory in the Grand Finals to secure the KEEMSTAR and UMG Creative Destruction Tournament Championship and the $50,000 grand prize. Tfue and Symfuhny finished the night with a second place prize of $30,000. The duos of Jaryd "Summit1g" Lazar and Mad Ruski and Soar Carl and Sven "Svennoss" each finished with $10,000 for finishing in third and fourth place respectively.
