Fortnite World Cup Week 10 Qualifiers Have Been Rescheduled

One of the biggest topics in the competitive Fortnite Battle Royale community recently has been the scheduling issue by Epic Games of having the Fortnite World Cup Week 10 Qualifiers take place on the same day of the battle royale title's Celebrity Pro-Am tournament. One of the major complaints that have been risen is that players will not be able to compete in both, such as Tyler "Ninja" Belvins, and that viewers will have to choose between the two when it comes to what they watch. Seeing this large amount of criticism from the community, Epic Games announced on Wednesday, June 5th that the Fortnite World Cup Week 10 Qualifiers would be rescheduled.
