The Fortnite Team has created a brand new way to watch the first competitive round of FNCS this weekend. This season’s Duos format is also a nice change from last season’s Trio’s. This format will give fans a variety of new teams, drop spots, and strategies to follow.
The entire broadcast will be available in-game at a new virtual environment called “Legends Landing”. Fans watching via Legends Landing will have access to additional drops during viewing sessions. Viewers can even participate in box fights and aim training in between sessions. Winners will gain extra XP points!
The FNCS broadcast teams for each region have also been announced and are as follows:
Europe

The entire EU broadcast lineup includes Leven2K, ZekimusPrime, ShyoWager, Boop, and Reisshub. Boop, who is from the Netherlands, will be joining the EU team as an analyst for the first time. You can read more about Leven2k from Gamelevate’s recent interview with him in this article.
North America – NAE & NAW

The NAE broadcast lineup includes Adam Savage, Sundown, MonsterDFace, Vivid, and Somebodysgun. For the NAW broadcast, Epic has included Kelly LInk, Jacob PR, Clay Stehling, Tocata, and LifeWithPanda. In addition to the official broadcasts, there will be many open viewing parties with NRG’s AussieAntics leading the charge.
