Fortnite Competitive Chapter 3 Season 3

A brand new season of Fortnite has dawned upon us earlier this month. A brand new season calls for competition and with that in mind, the Chapter 3 Season 3 Competitive Fortnite is about to begin. As stated in the latest competitive update, this new competitive season will commence on July 6.

Chapter 3 Season 3 FNCS

The FNCS this year will feature a new point system for later rounds in order to encourage more competition.

Qualifiers

The season will begin with 3 separate qualifier rounds. The top five teams from these qualifier rounds will directly move onto the FNCS Finals. So, that makes it a total of 15 teams. Each qualifier will span across four rounds with the final round having a set lobby. As stated previously, there is a new point format in order to create a balance between both placement points and elimination points. There is another notable change as well with the teams qualifying from Round 2 to Round 3 being set to 250 teams per region this time. The dates of the qualifiers are July 6-10, July 11-15, July 16-18.

Semi Finals

The key to qualify for the FNCS finals is to maintain consistency. In a session, you either need to be the winning team of a game or be among the top six most consistent teams to move onto the Finals.

Session 1

  • Top 50 teams from the Series Point Leaderboard from each region.
  • A total of 5 matches.
  • 11 teams from this Session will advance to the Finals.
    • 5 Victory Royale winners and the top 6 most consistent teams.

Session 2

  • Filled with the 11 vacant team spots by the 51st-61st teams on the Series Point Leaderboard.
  • A total of 6 matches.
  • This 50-team lobby will run five matches and advance 12 teams to the Finals.
    • 6 Victory Royale winners and the top 6 most consistent teams.

Session 3

  • Filled with the 13 vacant team spots by the 62nd-73rd teams on the Series Point Leaderboard.
  • A total of 6 matches.
  • This 50-team lobby will compete across six matches and 12 total teams advance to the Finals.
    • 6 Victory Royale winners and the top 6 most consistent teams.

These semifinals of Chapter 3 Season 3 FNCS will be taking over 3 days from July 21 to July 24.

Finals

There are two ways to be crowned the FNCS Champions of this competitive season. The first means of winning the Finals is via Match Point. A team will be declared winners by Match Point if they meet both of these conditions:

  1. Earning a total of 475 points
  2. 3 Victory Royales

But it is true that winning via Match Point is a herculean task and is only possible if a single team annihilates everyone else. The other means of winning is by accumulating the most points after 12 matches.

There will be quite the gap between the semi-finals and finals of Chapter 3 Season 3 FNCS. The finals will be taking place from August 12 to August 14.
