The big livestream content creator convention is getting a little llama crazy. Today, Epic Games confirmed that Fortnite will be making an appearance at TwitchCon 2018 and wants you to tell all your friends on social media using #FortniteTwitchcon. At the San Jose Convention Center, Fornite will be bringing the energy across three events.
Fortnite at TwitchCon 2018 will be home to the Fall Skirmish Finals, Stream-Vitational, and Lazy Links Live. The Skirmish is a Duos competition open to all players that register online while the Stream-Vitational is an event where 50 Fortnite content creators and 50 randomly selected TwitchCon attendees faceoff. Here are the rules for Fall Skirmish registration:
If either of the Duos players does not have a verified TwitchCon badge, registration will be forfeit.
The Fall Skirmish Duos 1st place prize is $400,000. The Stream-Vitational 1st place prize is $30,000 with bonuses for most elimination per game that could result in an additional $10,000 in games 1 and 2. There's a $20,000 bonus for game 3. If you're interested in participating and want to get as prepared as possible, here are the peripherals and in-game video settings that will be used at the event:
