Bugha was since the first game at the top of the leaderboard. He survived long and secured himself every match eliminations and placing points. That is how he made in the following 5 games constantly points and how he got 59 points at the end. Before the final match, Bugha was uncatchable on the first place. He also performed well in the last game in which he got 5 kills and secured a top 5 placing. In the last game, Bugha was already smiling because he knew he had won. It wasn’t really exciting at the top of the leaderboard. In the end, Bugha achieved with 59 points almost the double of “psalm”s points who had 33 and secured the second place. “King” who is also placed in the top 5 is coming from Argentina and achieved almost all his points through kills.
What happened with Germany?
Germany was one of the best esport countrys when it belongs to Fortnite. 8 players from the WorldCup came from Germany but where did they place? None of them was into the top 30. The best german player were “fwexY” on place 31, “LeTsHe” on place 32 and “Issa” on place 37.
What happened with the favorites?
“Stompy” who was a big international favorite had a bad day and secured only the 14 place. He would have been a big competitor for Bugha who won the WorldCup with ease but stompy had some problems with his hand because of an accident. His countryman “Aqua” who won the WorldCup duos the day before got on place 94 with only one elimination. After he threw the first games star-streamer “Tfue” got at least at the last games some eliminations and secured place 67.
What did the pros get?
“Bugha” can be happy with prize money of 3 million $. The fourth place is a milliner too because the prize money was for the fourth place still over one million dollars. Fortnite has now the biggest prize money in the hole esports history with 100 million dollars for the first esport-year and over 30 million for the WorldCup.
