On May 16, popular streamer Dr. Disrespect revealed that he’s hosting a Fortnite tournament focused on its latest game mode, Zero Build.
It will feature 32 invited players from various backgrounds and offers a $100,000 prize pool. Since there won’t be any building mechanics in the tournament, players will have a chance to showcase their gun skills throughout the games.
