Monaco Gaming Show: all you need to know about tournaments!
Find out all the important information related to the different qualifications and final phases of the Monaco Gaming Show.
The month of December will be animated with the organization of the Monaco Gaming Show, one of the largest online esport events ever organized in France! When you think about esports events, you directly think about tournaments, and on this occasion MGS decided to organize two competitions on two of the main video game titles: Fortnite and Rocket League. The choice of those two important games in the esports landscape was obviously not a random choice at all. If you want to learn more about that, do not hesitate to check our announcement article!
As a worldwide event, it was decided to make the two tournaments as accessible as possible to allow the maximum number of players to participate, show their skill and prove their level. This will be done through an advanced series of qualifying tournaments that we will detail here so that you can best prepare yourself for this unique event!
Fortnite
Given the success and popularity of the main Epic Games’ flagship title, MGS has chosen to offer two qualifying rounds that each contain four tournaments, meaning eight in all. These tournaments will start very soon with the first phase and will be followed by the second phase a couple of days later. They will allow the best players to access the Monaco Gaming Show Grand Final which will take place on December 18th, live streamed!
Registrations are open to everyone for the first phase. However, only players who have qualified after the first phase can participate in the second phase. Important: the first phase will take place in Buildfight, the second in Boxfight and the Grand Final in Battle Royale, make sure you practice in all three modes!
