Epic Games announced a 'Free Fortnite Cup' special tournament, due to take place on Sunday, August 23rd across all platforms.
Quite obviously, this is a PR move against Apple, following Epic's lawsuit filed for unlawful monopoly and Apple's decision to not only remove Fortnite from the App Store but also to threaten the termination of all Unreal Engine iOS developer accounts, against which Epic filed a restraining order. Prizes will be suitably anti-Apple, too; read on to learn how the Free Fortnite Cup is going to work and what exactly will be the rewards for the winners.
Active Time - 1 point for every 3 minutes on the BR island.Eliminations - 1 point per ElimVictory Royale - 10 points for each Victory Royale

Additionally, we’re giving away 1,200 pieces of gaming hardware (phones, consoles, and PC’s). Just because you can’t play on iOS doesn’t mean there aren’t other awesome places to play Fortnite. Be one of the top 1,200 apple-eaters globally to win one of these prizes!
