Fortnite LAN event in Saudi Arabia
A Fortnite LAN event in Saudi Arabia has reportedly raised $3 million for charity. The Fortnite tournament was part of a four-day charitable esports festival that included participants from North America, Europe and the Middle East. The event was also a qualifier for the live version of the Saudi esports championship, which will boast a $15 million prize pool. If you’d like to see the tournament yourself, you can watch a live stream of it on YouTube.
Despite the $20 million prize pool, there haven’t been any Fortnite LAN events in the region since the World Cup. The recent COVID-19 outbreak has delayed these events. However, a recent announcement by prominent Fortnite creator Aussie Antics reveals a $15 million event in Saudi Arabia. In addition, qualifiers have already begun. For further details, you can visit the official website of the event.
Global charity esports festival

In the lower tier, amateurs will compete in a global community tournament, while the top performers will enter the upper tier to compete against the world’s best gamers. The winning teams will receive a share of the $10 million prize pool, which will go to 12 charity organizations.
The event’s organizers are hosting the tournament for the third consecutive year and the competition will include a US$10 million charity prize pool. In addition to the charity prize pool, the festival will host three elite competitions that will qualify some of the world’s most elite Esports teams to compete in a major tournament in Riyad in the summer of 2022.
