All 50 teams listed above will compete at the FNCS Global Championship 2024 in Dickies Arena, Fort Worth, Texas, on September 7 and 8. The tournament consists of 12 games over two days, but only one duo will be crowned the FNCS 2024 World Champions.

Epic Games and Fortnite are currently on their annual summer break. As a result, in-game content, significant updates, and tournaments have been put on hold. However, the Fortnite x Pirates of the Caribbean update is set to arrive on July 19, and Fortnite competitors are eager to resume the Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS). Only the FNCS Major 3 2024 Semi-Finals and Grand Finals remain as players scramble to qualify for the FNCS Global Championship this September.

When are the FNCS Major 3 2024 Grand Finals?

FNCS Major 3 resumes on July 19 with the Semi-Finals, and the Grand Finals follow on July 27 and 28. This means only two weekends remain before the upcoming $2 million LAN event in Fort Worth, Texas. Currently, 19 teams across all six regions have secured a spot in the FNCS Global Championship 2024. Only 31 spots remain, and those will be decided in the FNCS Major 3 2024 Grand Finals.

Which top Fortnite duos have not yet qualified for the Global Championship?

Many top teams have already guaranteed their participation in the LAN event. However, several top competitors still need a strong performance in the FNCS Major 3 Grand Finals. A notable example is popular streamer Cody "Clix" Conrod, who recently parted ways with long-time duo partner Shane "EpikWhale" Cotton.

The pair failed to qualify for last year's Global Championship Finals, leading to their split before FNCS Major 3. Clix ultimately teamed up with top European player Harry "Veno" Pearson, who moved to North America for the occasion. They hope to finish in the top ten to qualify for the Grand Finals.

Another notable team is the duo of Martin "MrSavage" Foss Andersen and Kyle "Mongraal" Jackson. This pair formed when Fortnite legend Mongraal returned to competition. However, rather than competing on their home European turf, these two also moved across the Atlantic.

The stakes are higher than ever heading into the FNCS Major 3 2024 Grand Finals. Be sure to check back here for all the latest updates regarding the Fortnite Champion Series.

With a generous prize pool of $7.675 million, the 2024 FNCS is composed of three Majors, leading up to a grand finale at the FNCS Global Championship 2024, where the world champions will be determined. Details about the finale are scarce, with Epic Games promising more information later in the year.Adjustments have been made to this year's tournament framework, maintaining the duos format but eliminating the Last Chance Major. Competitors must now secure their spot through one of the three Majors.

Early 2024 Majors Viewership Insights

FNCS 2024 - Major 1: Europe stands out for its dramatic increase in viewership, setting records with 739.5 thousand peak viewers, 8.04 million hours watched, and an average of 368.6 thousand viewers over 22 hours. These figures not only make it one of the most viewed and popular Fortnite tournaments but also the most successful in terms of non-global and streamer-focused competitions.

The anticipation was high, especially with top players competing, leading to Malibuca and Merstach emerging as the winners, narrowly edging out Queasy and Th0masHD. These teams are set to compete in the grand finale on September 7 and 8. This year's Major 1: Europe significantly outperformed its predecessor in 2023, marking a substantial increase in viewership and engagement.

The revised format and the addition of more matches seem to have attracted more viewers. Additionally, the event saw increased coverage from popular channels, boosting its visibility. FNCS 2024 - Major 1: North America also excelled, merging East and West regions and surpassing previous events in viewership and peak viewers.

Similar success was noted in the FNCS 2024 - Major 1: Brazil and Oceania, showing improvements over last year, while Asia maintained steady figures, affected by a reduced prize pool. The Middle East was the only region to see a decline, possibly due to schedule changes and the absence of top co-streamers from the previous year.

In terms of overall performance, the FNCS 2024 has made impressive strides, with Europe, North America, and Brazil leading in watch time and peak viewers, indicating a resurgence in Fortnite's competitive scene. This resurgence bodes well for the game's competitive future, reinforcing its status as a pioneer in esports event structure, prize allocation, and promotional strategies.

The success of the year's first Major across different regions highlights the growing popularity of the revised format and shorter airtime, especially in Europe, showcasing the immense potential of competitive Fortnite. As the season progresses, Epic Games and fans alike are hopeful for continued success into the end of 2024.
