Tfue and KittyPlays win Fortnite Korea Open Duos – Final Placements

Epic Games took competitive Fortnite across the world on December 14, as they paired top players like Tfue, Myth and NickEh30, up against the top players from South Korea.

Epic Games is keen to continue developing interest in Fortnite around the world, and with an already passionate player base in South Korea, an official tournament was perfect for the region.

There was a mix of solos and duos, with two South Koreans, ‘Sinooh’ and ‘Milfy’, taking the top spot in solos, while FaZe Clan’s Tfue and streamer KittyPlays took top spot in the duos event.

There was one billion Korean won in total up for grabs, but as a charity event the players weren’t netting it themselves, rather donating it to good causes.
