ESTNN recaps the FNCS Season 7 Semi-Finals and Reboot Round.
Competitive Fortnite players worldwide endured a rigorous test in this weekend’s Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS) Semi-Finals and Reboot Round. No matter the region, it was crunch time for teams who failed to finish top three in one of the weekly qualifiers. Only nine teams in each region earned that privilege.
The 99 remaining trios based on Series Points were divided into three heats for the Semi-Finals to determine the rest of Season 7’s Finalists. What ensued shocked fans as many talented trios failed to cement their fate. All seven regions had their fair share of upsets, drama, heartache and glory. It was a mixed bag and lived up to everything Fortnite offers as a competitive Battle Royale.
The Reboot Round followed the Semi-Finals, wherein only the elusive Victory Royale could push a team into the finals. There’s a lot to break down, and today, ESTNN is here to recap the Semi-Finals and Reboot Round results as we prepare to crown seven more Axe of Champions holders next weekend.
