Fortnite: How To Register For G2 Esports €20K Get The Cash Cup

ESTNN breaks down the upcoming Get The Cash Cup tournament presented by G2 Esports.


The reigning esports organization of the year — G2 Esports — has announced a massive Fortnite Battle Royale tournament for European players. Aptly named “Get The Cash Cup,” G2 is putting up a €20K prize pool for members of the EU region. Trio teams will battle for some money and bragging rights in arguably Fortnite’s most challenging region.

We can expect all of the elite talents such as Martin “100T MrSavage” Foss Andersen, Benjy “NRG benjyfishy” Fish, Tai “GUILD TaySon” Starčič and more to compete. Today, ESTNN will break down the prize pool distribution, scoring system, format and all methods viewers can use to watch the tournament.
