Esports World Cup Fortnite Format
Here's where things get weird. Gamers were surprised to see a bracket in a game that's usually a battle royale format. EWC is going to have a 4v4 format, which means it's team versus team instead of all teams duking it out in a battle royale.
This starts with a Group Stage. The 16 teams will be divided into four groups where all matches are a best-of-five. The top two teams from each Group Stage will advance to the Playoffs and the bottom two are eliminated.
In the Playoffs, there's an intense single elimination bracket. Every match is a best-of-seven. The seeding will be based on the Group Stage results.
