Time Stamp: November 8, 2021 12:33 PM

ESTNN recaps the Fortnite Console Champions Cup for Europe and NA East.

Fortnite’s third-ever Console Champions Cup has officially concluded mere days after the $3M USD Fortnite Champion Series. Console players have a $250K USD prize pool to compete for one weekend each season and some stingy PC adversaries to overcome. The lull between FNCS tournaments is the perfect time for players from both walks of gaming to converge on the console turf.

While the Console Champions Cup is certainly not a flagship competition, tens of thousands threw their hat into the ring for a piece of the pie and bragging rights. However, only seven would claim the title of Season 8 Console Champions.

Today, ESTNN recaps the two major regions in competitive Fortnite; Europe and NA East. The finals of each possessed some of the best PC and console players across the world. Let’s see if the console players could defend their territory or if the PC elite took over once again.

Europe

Andilex, Destru & Laizen Claim Their Third Console Championship

It was another successful outing for the now three-time European Console Champions Cup winners. The combination of FNCS Season 2 Champion Andilex and teammates Destru and Laizen have proven their ability to dominate on the console side of Fortnite. For the third consecutive $250K USD tournament — Andilex, Destru and Laizen overcame worthy challengers such as Queasy and Kami en route to the winner’s circle.

Their six-match effort in the finals led to 187 points, including a tournament-leading 33 eliminations and an average placement of six. Can anyone overcome the clear best European trio on console? Next season, we’ll have to find out when Andilex, Destru and Laizen go for their fourth consecutive triumph. In the meantime, each will enjoy an additional $7.2K USD in earnings.

Pingo, Tombik & Pixovsky Narrowly Finish Second

Pingo, Tombik and Pixovsky made a valiant run at the console kings but fell just short.
