I have a prediction. I believe that in 2019 Fortnite will be the biggest eSports game in the world.
So far in less than a year Fortnite has somehow became one of the biggest games. Thus making a factor for potentially doing super will in the eSport scene. Now a days Fortnite is pushing more into eSports. Though many people doubted Fortnite doing well in eSports, they are. So far the creator, Epic Games hosted tons of eSport tournaments.
I think there is no reason why they would not become the biggest eSports game in 2019. If you think they won't, please change my mind in the comment section below.
Fortnite Is One of the Highest Paying Esports Games
Common knowledge is that Epic Games has made so much money from Fortnite. When it comes to the prize pool for tournament they are not stingy at all. Epic Games even had multi million prize pools for tournaments like, Fortnite Summer Skirmish and Fortnite Fall Skirmish. Because of their high paying tournaments, lots of people are appealed. They are even the top 5 highest paying eSport.
For example
Say that a player wins 100 times in Fortnite they would earn point blank amount money. But in games like League of Legends they would have to play around x1000+ more games to earn how much Fortnite player are making.
Imagine how much your favorite Fortnite player is making.
