Chiptole / Epic Games
The star-studded Chipotle Challenger Series made its return in spectacular fashion as some of the world’s most popular streamers went head to head against veteran Fortnite professionals on October 1.
While the last iteration of the Chipotle Challenger Series focused on frenetic Warzone action, the competition pivoted to Fortnite for this latest installment. The last competition took place on July 16 and many of the top content creators had been raring to go again ever since.
Teams had a handful of rounds to put up the most points possible. $50,000 and a year’s worth of free Chipotle burritos were on the line, so the stakes were high for the eventual winners: Ronaldo, Furious and Illest.
