Epic Games first teased a Trios Tournament on June 20th, but didn’t offer many details aside from the start date. But now that we’re a few days out from the event, we know a lot more about the contest, including its official name: the Trios Cash Cup.
Technically anyone is allowed to enter, just like the Fortnite World Cup qualifiers, but you need to reach a certain threshold in Arena Mode first. Thankfully Epic Games released Arena Trios on Wednesday to provide interested players a few days of practice before the event starts.
This is the first Trios event for Epic Games, so it’ll be interesting to see how everything plays out. We have everything you need to know about the event below.

Fortnite Trios tournament prize pool
Epic Games has a $1 million global prize pool for the event. The top teams from each region will win the prize money, although the exact breakdown has not been released yet. A leak for the prize pool in Europe suggests first place wins $15,000 with second place earning $12,900 and third earning $10,200.
The leaked prize money for Europe even goes into the top 275, where users earn $600.
The prize pool is expected to vary by region, so don’t expect those numbers to be the same for North American competitors.
