The 100 teams are split into four groups of 25, and of those 25 squads will compete in the four Heat sessions. Of those teams, only the top 24 from each region will advance on to compete in the Grand Finals with six team advancing with each Heat.
In order to advance, you must be the highest-scoring squad from each Heat. The match scoring system will look familiar to those who have watched competitive in the past, but we'll list it here as a reminder.
Epic Games has been really good about streaming competitive Fortnite events in the past, but the publisher is taking a backseat this time. According to Fortnite Tracker, Epic will not be streaming the Finals of the FNCS this weekend. Instead, the game is encouraging people who qualified for the event to stream on their own.
But if you want to watch a similar presentation, Practice Server will be live streaming the event on its own.
Practice Server won't be live streaming the entire event, just the NAE, NAW and EU regions.
