Epic Games reveals details ahead of FNCS Chapter 2 – Season 6.


The latest Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS) is less than one month away. With a targeted start date of April 22, competitive Fortnite trios across the game’s seven regions prepare for another $3M USD gauntlet. Last season saw seven winners, all of whom claimed the Axe of Champions and a piece of that massive prize pool. Chapter 2 – Season 6 offers the same incentive to thousands of teams who want to cement themselves as their region’s best. Epic Games just released all of this season’s critical FNCS details, which we will take a look at and analyze thoroughly.
