Here's How the Fortnite Bugha Cup Will Go Down
On Thursday, starting at 6:00 pm CET, all players have the opportunity to participate in twelve games within four hours. The tournament is regionally limited and takes place over two rounds. The top 100 players from each region will qualify for the finals, with the exception of NA East, where Bugha is waiting for the top 99 players. Bugha is obviously sent directly to the final round without having to qualify.

Both the Throwback Duo and the Solo Cup are a great way to honor last year's World Champions as hosts. Aqua, Nyhrox and Bugha have collected many memories during the World Cup and have become known worldwide. To now have the chance to compete against them in their respective regions is a real honor and in our opinion worth even more than the prizes. We are curious to see who will take the victory and how far the pros will go.
