Tournaments take gaming to a new level. What makes Fortnite fun is the competition aspect of it. Now with the addition of tournaments/rewards an even greater competitive atmosphere will exist. Imagine being able to become a millionaire playing a game that you already enjoyed playing to begin with. Of course not everyone will be able to win money. Only the best players will be entering these tournaments. People who spend all day gaming will now have the opportunity to be rewarded. No longer is gaming a waste of time for everyone.

Will be cool to see Fortnite integrate cryptocurrency. In game items need to be tradeable an in game marketplace would be amazing.
