Victory Cash Cups - On the regular schedule for Mondays (Solo Battle Royale and Zero Build) and Saturdays (Squads Reload)
Compete for cash! In Victory Cash Cups, you don't necessarily win cash by finishing in the top spot. Instead, you get cash for every Victory Royale you or your team wins in Round 2! The top scoring parties in each region during Round 1 will advance to Round 2, which will take place on the same day as Round 1.
There'll be plenty of opportunities to participate in a Victory Cash Cup during Chapter 5 Season 4, with either the Solo Battle Royale, Solo Zero Build, or Squads Reload format! (To participate in a Squads Reload Victory Cash Cup, you must be ranked Gold I or higher in Battle Royale.)
Performance Evaluations - On the regular schedule for Tuesdays
These cups are designed to help us better understand how to improve performance and test new ideas for high-end tournament play. While they're unlikely to replicate the exact conditions of an FNCS Grand Final, we're adjusting eligibility for Performance Evaluations this season to make them more competitive. This Season, Performance Evaluations will only be available to players from the top 1,000 NA and EU FNCS teams from the previous Season (Chapter 5 Season 3).
This season, we'll be introducing Reload Performance Evaluations in the NA region!
Cash Cups - On the regular schedule for Wednesdays
Compete with a companion for cash. In Chapter 5 Season 4, you'll have plenty of opportunities to enter either the Battle Royale Duos Cash Cup or the Zero Build Duos Cash Cup. Whichever one you choose, it'll be played over two rounds, with the top 50 duos advancing to Round 2 the day after Round 1!
The top 40 Battle Royale Duos and the top ten Zero Build Duos will receive cash prizes, and we've significantly increased the first-place prize for the winning Battle Royale Duos in NA and EU ($10,000).
Reload Platform Cash Cups - On the regular schedule for Fridays
Compete against your fellow PC, console, or mobile players... all of whom are fellow Reload players! Throughout Chapter 5 Season 4, there will be separate Cups for PC, console and mobile, all in the Duos format. Each Cup will have two rounds on the same day. The top 20 duos in each region will advance to Round 2, with cash prizes awarded to the top ten PC and console duos and the top three mobile duos.
Ranked Cups - On the regular schedule for Saturdays
Throughout Chapter 5 Season 4, you'll have frequent opportunities to play duos against other players in the same rank pool. Compete in either Battle Royale or Zero Build! You'll have the option to queue as a fill player yourself, so you can be matched with a fill partner.
Your victory is just around the corner: earn at least 50 points in any Ranked Cup this season to earn the Ranker's Doom Brella!
The Champions Road… Ventures Outside Battle Royale?
Battle Royale isn't the only way to become a champion - dive into Rocket Racing, hit new highs in Fortnite Festival, and score replay-worthy goals in Rocket League:

Passing The Axe of Champions 2.0… to the Community!
Since the introduction of the Axe of Champions 2.0, it's been a prize reserved for the regional winners of FNCS tournaments - passed down from one champion to the next.
This season, the Axe will be awarded to the winners of the Champion Kuno + Renzo the Champion FNCS Cup. For the first time ever, it will be available for purchase in the Fortnite Store on September 4 at 8pm ET. Since the axe is no longer a limited item, the winners of the Champion Kuno + Renzo the Champion FNCS Cup will keep it in their locker. All previous regional FNCS winners of The Axe will also have it in their locker before it becomes available in the store.
What's next in the Axe of Champions series? A third iteration is in the works and will replace The Axe of Champions 2.0 as the reward that's passed from one FNCS champion to the next!
