Fortnite Winter Royale Duos 2019 - What? When? Prize money?
Epic Games has officially announced the Winter Royale Duos 2019 competition.
There were rumors on Twitter that said Winter Royale duos would be making a comeback in 2019, which turned out to be true after Epic recently announced duos tournaments along with Fncs Twitch Drops.
DestinyJesus, the current FaZe Clan Fortnite team coach, posted an image for the Winter 2019 Tournament on November 19th. The Winter Royale 2019 logo is not official, but it clearly had information from Epic Games that the tournament would take place this month.

FORTNITE WINTER ROYALE DUOS 2019
The prize pool for Winter Royale Duos 2019 is much bigger than what Epic put up last year. Last year the tournament had $1,000,000 in prize money, but this year Epic has announced that the tournament will have a $5,000,000 fund each day on three different days in December.
Each server region will take part in a platform-specific duo contest, and anyone can enter. Epic has yet to release the in-game events and rules, but the blog post announcing Winter Royale 2019 has stated that it will be released soon along with some additional details.
Last year, the Winter Royale was for solo players only, and the tournament had two parts.
Players could qualify for the finals by participating in event sessions and earning the highest possible score. The top performers from each region were then vetted, and those players who were eligible were invited to compete in the Fortnite Winter Royale Finals in their region.
Not only is the prize pool much larger, but in recent years the competition has been limited to NA and EU only. This year, players from all regions of the server can take part in the tournament.
We will likely get professional players announcing their duo partners for the tournament in due course. Epic will likely release more information about the event over the next week or so, and we'll be sure to keep you updated on the latest developments.
