28 Aug Fortnite: How To Watch FNCS Season 7 Semi-Finals (Heats) & Reboot Round
Find out how you can watch the FNCS Semi-Finals this weekend, where players will compete for a spot in the Season 7 Finals.
Fortnite Battle Royale’s seasonal Champion Series event has reached its final few weeks. Since the start of Season 7, competitive trios across the game’s seven regions have participated in countless scrims, tournaments and Arena matches in preparation for the Fortnite Champion Series.
Some teams have remained the same from season to season, whereas others have made necessary adjustments for the greater good. One thing is for sure—every trio in the world wants a piece of the $3M USD and a crack at the elusive Axe of Champions.
Three weekly qualifiers have led to this point—the FNCS Semi-Finals, which many refer to as Heats. Epic Games has seeded the season’s top teams based on Series Points in all regions and split them into three years, each containing 33 trios. The goal for these teams is to earn enough points in the Semi-Finals to secure a spot in the Season 7 Finals.
Today, ESTNN breaks down the Semi-Finals, mainly how viewers can watch the action unfold, what the schedule looks lik,e and what players are involved.
FNCS Season 7 Semi-Finals Schedule & Format
The weekend begins with the FNCS Semi-Finals, also known as heats. As previously stated, the top 99 teams in each region based on Series Points have been split into three different heats containing 33 players. All heats consist of six custom matches, with the top six teams moving to the Season 7 Finals next weekend.
Teams who fall between seventh and seventeenth place in the Semi-Finals will have one last chance to make the finals in the Reboot Round. Trios that participate in the Reboot Round must earn a Victory Royale to qualify for the Season 7 Finals and points do not matter. Each region’s number of Reboot Round matches will vary depending on how many teams disbanded this season that finished top-three in the Season 6 Finals.
In case that was challenging to follow, here is a quick bulleted breakdown of this weekend’s action:
