Major 3 is about to end, and soon we will know who the 50 duos are that will compete in this year's FNCS Global Championship. We have summarized all the important information regarding participants, format and much more to prepare you for the ultimate showdown at the beginning of September.

Qualified Duos

EU

  • Malibuca and Merstach (1st place, Major 1)
  • ThomasHD and Queasy (2nd place, Major 1)
  • Swizzy and Vanyak (1st place, Major 2)
  • Chap and T3eny (2nd place, Major 2)
  • Kami and Setty (3rd place, Major 2)
  • Rezon and Vadeal (4th place, Major 2)
  • Andilex and Seyto (5th place, Major 2)
  • Vico and Flickzy (1st place, Major 3)
  • Nathan and Czb (6th place, Major 3)
  • P1ng and Wox (7th place, Major 3)
  • JannisZ and Pixie (8th place, Major 3)
  • Sky and Scroll (9th place, Major 3)
  • Turtle and Cheapz (10th place, Major 3)
  • Prism and Casperinovic (11th place, Major 3)
  • TruleX and Chico (12th place, Major 3)
  • Huty and KovaaksXD (13th place, Major 3)
  • G13ras and Charyy (14th place, Major 3)

With 17 duos confirmed, the EU region has the most duos that have secured a place in Texas. Starting with the FNCS champions from Season 1 Malibuca and Merstach as they won by just one point over the duo of ThomasHD and Queasy. For the latter, despite this narrow defeat, it still meant qualification for the Global Championship. Five places were then awarded in Major 2. The qualification of the duo of Chap and T3eny deserves special mention here, as it was the very first Grand Finals for newcomer Chap, and he set a new record for a debutant by achieving 2nd place. No less impressive was the qualification of the French duo Andilex and Seyto, who were still in 46th place after day 1 of the Grand Finals, only to stage a brilliant comeback on day 2 that took them to the final qualification spot in 5th place.

NA Central

  • Cold and Acorn (1st place, Major 1)
  • Peterbot and Pollo (1st place, Major 2)
  • Ritual and Reet (2nd place, Major 2)
  • Khanada and Cooper (3rd place, Major 2)
  • Batman Bugha and Rapid (2nd place, Major 3)
  • Clix and Veno (4th place, Major 3)
  • Trashy and Threats (5th place, Major 3)
  • Dukes and Sphinx (6th place, Major 3)
  • Avivv and Bugha (7th place, Major 3)
  • Brycx and Boltz (8th place, Major 3)
  • ttv itsvicteriv and Paper (9th place, Major 3)
  • Muz and EpikWhale (10th place, Major 3)
  • Shadow and Vergo (11th place, Major 3)
  • Bacca and Parz (12th place, Major 3)

NA Central Major 3 is prophesied in many circles as possibly the most legendary FNCS of all time. This is due to the fact that after Major 2, many of the best EU players decided to switch regions and go to NA Central, as it is supposedly easier to qualify there. But now that so many good pros have switched, the tide has turned, and NA Central is now seen by many as the strongest region.

Teams like Khanada and Cooper or Ritual and Reet will be happy that they have already punched their ticket to the Global Championship.

However, duos like Peterbot and Pollo are still considered one of the top favorites for Major 3, especially after the last two Grand Finals when the duo finished first and second.

Brazil

  • Cadu and Seeyun (1st place, Major 1)
  • Persa and EdRoadToGlory (1st place, Major 2)
  • K1ng and Fazer (1st place, Major 3)
  • 916Gon and Night (2nd place, Major 3)
  • Kayky and Kchorro (3rd place, Major 3)

Asia

  • Zagou and Shelom (1st place, Major 1)

  • Resignz and Deymo (2nd place, Major 3)

FNCS Majors Recap: Highlights & Storylines

Major 3 of the FNCS has concluded, and the roster for the Global Championship is now finalized. The tournament saw some unexpected twists and turns, with several surprising qualifications and eliminations that left fans and competitors alike in shock.

The victory in the EU region was decided by a true photo finish, with the top teams battling it out until the very last moment. Meanwhile, in NA Central, fan favorites and long-standing legends fell short of qualification, much to the surprise of the community.

In Season 2 on NA Central, Peterbot and Pollo had the most dominant season ever, winning all 6/6 Duo Cash Cups and the FNCS Grand Finals with more than 1000 points. On EU, the German duo of Vico and Flickzy achieved a similarly impressive performance. Winning 3 Duo Cash Cups in a row and another first place in one of the Performance Evolution Cups, the pair went into the Grand Finals as one of the top favorites.

However, some in the Fortnite community were unsure if Vico and Flickzy could translate their Duo Cash Cup performances into a victory in the most important tournament of the season, as the two have never won FNCS before and a Grand Finals lobby is not comparable to a Duo Cash Cup lobby.

But Vico and Flickzy just kept going and in the end they actually took home the win and got their place in the Global Championship as well as $170,000.

After places 2 to 5 were all awarded to teams that had already qualified for the LAN in September, it was the top 14 that secured a place at the Global Championship. Among them, for example, the three-time FNCS winner JannisZ who finished 8th with his duo partner Pixie.

In NA Central, Peterbot and Pollo completed one of the most historic chapters in Fortnite Competitive ever with another first place finish. After finishing in second place on day one behind the hyped duo of Veno and Clix, the two were able to withstand the pressure better and prove their dominance on day two.

But these were not the only big stories that were written during the Grand Finals. The 5x FNCS Champion Tayson, who moved to NA specifically to team up with Eomzo, failed to qualify for the Global Championship, marking a significant disappointment. Similarly, Mongraal and MrSavage, along with Pinq, did not secure their spots, much to the dismay of their fans.

The results for Mongraal and MrSavage were particularly disheartening, both for the duo and their hundreds of thousands of supporters, who had high hopes after their impressive performances in recent weeks. For Pinq and Mero, the failure to qualify is also a severe blow, especially for Mero, who would have traveled to Texas as the defending champion but now has no chance to defend his title.

Format

Last year's Global Championship in Copenhagen was a complete success. Nevertheless, there were some points of criticism that were at least partially addressed this year.

Last year, 75 duos qualified for the Global Championship. Unlike this year, a qualifying round was played on site over two days in 2023 to determine the 50 duos who would play in the Grand Finals. However, the Grand Finals were played on just one day with 6 rounds, which many fans criticized.

This year this has been changed and the Grand Finals will consist of 2 days with a total of 12 rounds, just like all other FNCS'. In return, however, the preliminary qualifying round has been removed. If you look at the opinions on social media, it becomes clear that many fans would have liked a combination of both. In other words, a two-day qualifying round followed by two days of Grand Finals.

Meanwhile, Fortnite Comp Report has already confirmed the prize pool and points format on Twitter/X.

As with the normal online FNCS Grand Finals, the LAN will now also feature the 1.5x points format on the second day. This applies to both kill and placement points. This means that on the second day you will receive 6 points for a kill instead of 4. And a duo will also receive 100 instead of 65 points on the second day for an epic victory, for example.

Prize Pool

While the majority will certainly be happy about the point system change, the reaction to the announcement of the prize pool is rather modest. Last year, the winning duo received an impressive sum of $1 million, but now “only” $400,000 will be split between the two winners.

Here is a list of all the placings and their cash prizes:
