04 Oct Fortnite Chipotle Challenger Series Fall 2021: Everything You Need To Know
The Chipotle Challengers Series featuring Fortnite is back after a Summer break.
Last time out in March, TSM Commandment and FaZe Cented claimed first place in the Grand Finals. They collected $15K USD to split and a year supply of burritos from the popular chain. Now, another group of players has a chance to win themselves a share of $275K USD in cash and prizes throughout October.
Several invited teams have already secured their spot in the Challenger Series Finals. However, there is a qualification process that could grant you a chance to compete against some of the best players in North America. We have all of the information you need to get your Chipote Challenger Series journey started.
Open Qualifiers: Format, Schedule & Prizes
The Chipotle Challenger Series qualifiers are already underway, so time is ticking. Tournament organizers ran the first of four qualifiers on October 3, and only three more opportunities remain until the Grand Finals. The format is an elimination race — where duos will queue into public matches and earn as many eliminations as possible.
Teams will compete in the elimination race for a specific one-hour time limit. They will then submit their best three games across that period. Players must submit their scores via a clear screenshot to be in the running. The top 11 duos from each qualifier will secure themselves a spot in the Grand Finals.
