Hey there,
We're aware of some of the inconsistencies on the Series Leaderboard.
This is a visual issue only, and correct Series Points are being tracked internally. We're working to correct the public facing Series Leaderboard as quickly as we can.
They are not saying "jumping is illegal", they are saying jumping to signal another player is illegal. Just like they are not saying "swinging your pickaxe is illegal" they are saying "swinging your pickaxe to signal another player is illegal"
Exactly. Competing players shouldn't have anything to worry about if the jumping isn't an intended meaning of signaling.
Whats going to happen once fncs starts? Scheduling might be a problem
We're working closely with Dreamhack to ensure FNCS dates don't overlap during the months that FNCS may be running. Stay tuned!
Thanks for the video! I've passed this along to the team for investigation.
Did it fix polar peak as well?
To our immediate knowledge it seems to have fixed Polar Peak as well. Let us know if you see any additional strange shenanigans happening in the snow!
Update as of 3:12 AM ET: We have applied a server fix which seems to have solved the issue. This will not require a game restart or any additional download. Please let us know if you continue to experience the same problem as before, and good luck out there!
The Fortnite World Cup is right around the corner! With this event looming, we are constantly working on improving our broadcasting tools so that anyone can hop into the action as a spectator.
Starting today as a trial run, we’d like to share with players a plethora of replays for wider testing of our work-in-progress spectating system. This initial test will allow anyone on PC the ability to grab, and view the full replays of some of the high intensity matches that occur during the Luxe Cup. We’re excited to see VoD reviews, montages, highlights, and other creative content from the community during this first public test.
Replay files of every Luxe Cup match this weekend will be added to the Google Sheets below. (Please note, as these files are quite large, they may take some time to load).

... Read moreHello Competitive Fortnite Fans,
The original Secret Skirmish announcement teased “additional operations” to be held in the evenings after the primary Battle Royale competitions each day.
The initial plan was to hold a non-Battle Royale competition each night after the Solos and Duos matches to illustrate more competitive options in the Fortnite competitive ecosystem. Unfortunately, after testing on-site, we ran into technical issues that prevent us from holding these bonus competitions with the confidence needed to produce the show. We are removing the secret evening “operations” from the original schedule, and will continue with the Solos and Duos competition as planned.
The $25,000 prize pool that we had originally set aside for the additional evening competitions will be reallocated into the Duos prize pool. A total of $100,000 will now be up for grabs in the Duos competition, up from $75,000 previously. Solos will remain at the same prizepool with $400,000 up for grabs.
