Fortnite An Epic Games developer announced Thursday that it is gearing up for the Fortnite World Cup by 2020. Large gatherings have been banned worldwide because of a novel epidemic of coronavirus. Many esports events have gone online, but the global nature of the Fortnite World Cup poses a challenge – some players may have better connections than others, which makes the event less friendly.
