The tenth Fortnite Champion Series competition has begun. Teams from the game’s seven competitive zones are vying for a piece of the $3 million prize pool and the coveted Axe of Champions in-game reward, which is only awarded to the victors. Teams have learned the art to master each season’s entirely different meta since Chapter 2 – Season 4 making the battles in such events more intense and entertaining.

FNCS Season 7 Week 2 results
Europe
Winner: TCE RedRush, LootBoyXsterioz, Mаppi – 162 points
2nd: kiryachelfg, EvozA Stormyrite, Gambit Toose – 157 points
3rd: BL Setty, GAMMA Kami, GXR teeq – 154 points
In the second of three FNCS Qualifiers held in this region, a trio of European talents emerged. Despite facing formidable opponents, TCE RedRush, LootBoyXsterioz, and Mappi remained in the first place and you can see that it was a toe-to-toe battle for the 1st place finish since the top three teams finished within five points of each other on the standings. The main push came from the winners after a game-five Victory Royale and compiled 34 eliminations.
The following trios fell short due to the low count of elimination they were able to score. As a matter of fact, just three more eliminations by the second-placed trio would have been enough to propel them to first place; however, they still managed to qualify for the FNCS finals so they won’t complain.
NA East
Winner: LG Slackes, 1P Acоrn, G2 Jаhq – 166 points
2nd: kwаh, Elite Neeqo, POPPA PAPER – 161 points
3rd: Saf 1111, LastPieceBender, Liquid STRЕTCН – 148 points
The NA East region saw the Chapter 2 – Season 5 Champions maintain their dominance. In week two, G2 Jahq, LG Slackes, and 1P Acorn staged one of the most impressive comebacks in recent memory. Going into their fourth match, the three players were still way out of striking distance of the top three. Nonetheless, they showed tenacity, and great determination by securing back-to-back Victory Royales to make a huge leap to the first place. Throughout the tournament, they managed to score 166 points in six games fueled by 34 eliminations and an 11.7 average placement.
Ever since the start of Season 7, Kwah, Elite Neeqo, and Paper have been on the verge of reaching their full potential and their placement in this week’s qualifiers are initial signs of what they are capable of. These three players had a strong start to this FNCS Season by earning 161 points, 24 eliminations, and a Victory Royale in the opening match.
Saf, BBG Khanada, and Liquid STRETCH finally redeemed themselves by finishing third this week, a much better result compared to their early exit in last week’s qualifiers. They earned 148 points from 17 eliminations, with their average positions accounting for the majority of their success. However, as seen by their illustrious background in the professional world, this trio is capable of much more. However, this trio is capable of achieving much more as portrayed by their glorious past in the competitive scene.
NA West
Winner: 100T Arkhram., 100T rehx, NRG EpikWhale4x – 211 points
2nd: IG bens_legos, Coolmancolinツ, merk yuteXX – 171 points
3rd: XTRA Hashira, kаboo, PSR Nico – 151 points
The three-time FNCS Champions 100T Arkhram, 100T rehx, and NRG EpikWhale are invincible once more. They did win last season, securing a spot in the Season 7 Finals. However, they disbanded their squad after winning the finals and returned as a trio just days before the start of FNCS season 7.
Over the course of six games, the team scored 211 points after accumulating 46 eliminations and one Victory Royale. Despite a considerably high average placement, the runner-ups lacked a victory royale and also were low on elimination count. The points on the table make it evident that Arkhram’s trio is miles ahead of their counterparts, and that history might repeat itself once again in FNCS Season 7.
