This is an event that I am personally interested in. I’ve spend half of a day watching teams of two players competing in a game LIVE on a YouTube live stream. This type of event was the first one ever hold for the Fortnite and was an ongoing even from back in April. Most of the time it was just a qualification stage and the for last few days (July 26-28) the event was held in an arena in New York City. That’s when the finals took place and the winners of the entire competition were announced.

Between the games, the team of guests were talking about the important factors about the game. Some of the information included building the world, creating characters, upcoming updates, new features etc., so this was an interesting part for the developers in general. Although it didn’t cover any technical aspects of creating a game, it was still an interesting thing to watch.

Although the entire event didn’t have much to do with my project, I’ve enjoyed watching the gameplay and was cheering for my favourite players. I didn’t wanted to waste too much time on watching something irrelevant to what I’m working on, so I’ve only watched the duos trying to get their hands on $3 MILLIONS! This is a life changing competition, that allow players to become milliners to the rest of their lives. While watching, I’ve realised that games become a huge factor in peoples lives as most of those competitors were just a teenagers. The games play a huge role in our lives now, and will only become more important in the future.

You can find more information about the winners and other important factors on the official World Cup website: FORTNITE WORLD CUP.
