Currently, we don’t have any more details regarding the qualifications. There doesn’t seem to be an option to sign up, so they might only be open to certain groups of players. We’ll keep this article updated with the latest information.

What we do know is that you’ll be able to follow all the action live on the FaZe Clan and Twitch Practice Server channels. Expect high-quality production with commentary from popular Fortnite casters.
Plus, viewers will have a chance to win awesome FaZe merchandise! Giveaways will run throughout the broadcast, with entries available via Twitch chat and Discord.
Last year’s Elite Cup saw Slackes, Jahq and Acorn take first place, during a period when they were nearly unstoppable as a trio. The 2022 edition is sure to produce more exciting times and serve as an interesting preview of the upcoming FNCS.
