There will be five different Fortnite Creative maps and a welcome hub that will be used for the event.
Each Skills Challenge will be a double-elimination bracket-style competition with eight total players competing. The top 3 teams from Chapter 2 Season 5 and the top 3 teams from Chapter 2 Season 6 will designate one person from their respective trios to compete in the Skills Challenges.
