Fortnite Esports Roster Changes and Player Signings - August 16th, 2019Welcome to our weekly series that covers the latest roster changes and player signings in Fortnite Esports. Gaming organizations are adjusting rosters and picking up new players every week, so we decided to start this series to keep track of all the changes. There is no shortage of top-tier talent in this community and we love to see players' hard work pay off.
Before getting started, we wanted to give a huge congratulations to the winners of the World Cup, the one of the most iconic and lucrative gaming events in history. To put this in perspective, multiple kids under 18 were made millionaires and will be set for life if they handle their winnings responsibly.
Solo Winners:
1st Place: Bugha (Sentinels)
2nd Place: Psalm (Counter Logic Gaming)
3rd Place: EpikWhale (NRG)
Duo Winners:
1st Place: Nyhrox & Aqua (Cooler Esports)
2nd Place: Rojo & Wolfiez (Lazarus Esports)
3rd Place: Elevate & Ceice (100T)
The following roster changes are those that have occurred in the past month and do not include previously established rosters.
TSM
It seems like the World Cup sparked a fire under TSM, as they've recruited two new players to their Fortnite roster right before the competition. TSM Fortnite welcomes Herrions and Reverse2k to their roster. Both Herrions and Reverse2k qualified and represented TSM during the World Cup. We look forward to seeing what these two talented individuals can create together with their new org.

FaZe Clan
Over World Cup weekend, Faze signed deaf Fortnite streamer Ewok. Ewok has become a prolific personality and advocate for deaf people in the Fortnite community. So far, we've seen her get some of the biggest names in Fortnite, like Ninja, Tfue, DrLupo, and many more to try sign language. Not only that, it seems Epic has taken a liking to her and are continuing to improve their "sound visualization" setting in-game for those hard of hearing. She's also really good at Fortnite. All this and the girl is only 13 years old. We can't wait to see what she does in the future!

NRG
About a week before the World Cup, NRG signed EpikWhale to represent them on the big stage. He showed up. EpikWhale placed third in World Cup solos, securing himself a $1.200, 000 bag and representing his new org well.

Cloud 9
C9 also signed a player in the weeks leading up to the World Cup. They welcome to the roster Brazilian player pfzin, partner of Nicks, one of the best South American Fortnite players. Although pfzin and Nicks struggled on the big stage, they were clearly some of the best players in the SA region during qualifiers, placing first in weeks 2 and 6.

Season X The Leftovers Challenges (Fortnite Battle Pass Guide)Urgent Mission Objectives
Day 1: Deal (250) damage with Explosive weapons to opponents
Due to the scarcity of explosive weapons in the current state of Fortnite, this Challenge may prove to be difficult.
Both of the Rocket Launchers tend to mainly spawn in Supply Drops making them relatively rare, not to mention that Rocket Ammo will no longer drop from eliminated players or ammo crates. Grenades are also the only throwable explosive at this time.
The High Explosives LTM is not likely to return in time for this Challenge, so we highly recommend going into the Team Rumble mode to complete this Challenge.
Day 2: (5) Shotgun Eliminations
Your choices for this Challenge include the Combat Shotgun, Drum Shotgun, Pump Shotgun, and Tactical Shotgun. Which you’ll use is simply a matter of preference, all have their designated strengths and weaknesses which are fit for different playstyles and situations.
It’s important to note that close-range engagements will likely result in a build fight. But worry not - we’ve got you covered. Check out this video from our YouTube Channel focused helping you win build fights.
Day 3: Eliminate (20) members of the Horde at Retail Row
The Retail Row Rift Zone has brought along the Horde with it, various zombie types will spawn from the pink obelisks which spawn when a player is within the Rift Zone.
The Horde is fully AI-controlled and isn’t very powerful, as long as you keep moving or have strong enough weapons to hold off a lane. One important thing to note is that the Horde will not leave the Rift Zone, if you find yourself in a bad situation, just leave the Rift Zone and they’ll stop targeting you.
Day 4: Outlast (150) opponents in Duos or Squads mode
Don’t stress too much about completing this Challenge as it’s quite literally a passive Challenge. Just play our you Duos or Squad matches as you normally would and you’ll eventually complete the Challenge with ease.
You don’t even necessarily need to survive to the late-game to complete this Challenge, lots of players will die at the very beginning of matches due to the looting phase. If you’re one of those people, consider checking out our YouTube Channel for tips on improving your gameplay.
Day 5: Use a throwable item in (3) different matches
At the time of writing, the only throwable item which has yet to be vaulted is the regular Grenade. Luckily this Challenge only requires the item to be thrown, you won’t have to worry about getting eliminations with it.
If you’re completing this Challenge past Season X Week 4 (Smash & Grab), you’ll also be able to use the leaked Junk Rift item.
Day 6: Visit Paradise Palms and Lucky Landing in the same match
This Challenge is super simple and shouldn’t take more than a single attempt. Paradise Palms can be found in the Southeast corner of the map while Lucky Landing is right beside it on the South edge.
Day 7: Search (7) Chests at Salty Springs or Frosty Flights
Which location you should use for this Challenge is simply preference, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Salty Springs has less Chest spawns than Frosty Flights, but unlike Frosty, Salty isn’t located toward the edge of the map and will require less travel to get to the Storm circle.
Salty Springs
Here’s a map of Chest spawns for Salty Springs. If you choose to land here, do not forget about the (sometimes well-hidden) underground areas! The above map shows you where these can be found, some players may forget about these, putting themselves at a disadvantage.
Frosty Flights
Here’s a map of Chest spawns for Frosty Flights. Should you land here, consider landing in the control tower and working your way down throughout the rest of the main building. The hangars and runway area should generally be avoided due to the scarcity of Chests and lack of cover.
Hidden Battle Star
The Softdeez Ice Cream Shop logo can be found on the left-side of the front bumper in the Leftovers loading screen, as seen below.
The Battle Star should be available around the Ice Cream Shop, found West of the Racetrack. The Leftovers Loading Screen isn’t super clear as to where the Star is located, we’ll update you if this changes.
Rewards
Complete any 1 Challenge to unlock the reward: 10 Battle Stars
Complete any 2 Challenges to unlock the reward: 500 XP
Complete any 3 Challenges to unlock the reward: The Leftovers Uncommon Loading Screen & Hidden Battle Star Quest
Complete any 4 Challenges to unlock the reward: 10 Battle Stars
Complete any 5 Challenges to unlock the reward: 1,000 XP
Complete any 6 Challenges to unlock the reward: 10 Battle Stars
Complete any 7 Challenges to unlock the reward: 2,000 XP

Season X Worlds Collide Challenges (Fortnite Battle Pass Guide)Mission Objectives
Use a Rift
This Challenge is referring to the few Rifts which can be found around the map, not the Rift-to-Go item which functions exactly the same.
Above you can find a map of the four different Rifts found around the map. The Rifts found at Loot Lake and on the Southern Snowy Island have infinite uses, the Rifts found at the Durrr Burger and outside of Paradise Palms are single-use.
Visit a Rift Zone
At the time of writing there are two active Rift Zones, one at Neo Tilted/Tilted Town, and another at Mega Mall/Retail Row. Depending on when you are doing this Challenge, this could change. Leaks indicate that Rift Zones will also be coming to the Soccer Field and Paradise palms.
Deal (200) damage to opponents at a mountain top Viking Village or Loot Lake
The mountain top Viking Village can be found Southeast of Snobby Shores while Loot Lake can obviously be found just above the center of the map.
Viking Village
Here is a map of Chest spawns for the Viking Village. As indicated by the map, the loot distribution is pretty even per building due to the small size of the location. The underside of the Viking Ship is a good place to land as it provides good cover and will give you some time to harvest materials to defend yourself.
Loot Lake
Here is a map of Chest spawns for Loot Lake. Generally, you want to avoid the water as it significantly slows you down and leaves you vulnerable with little cover. The various lab buildings around the lake should prove to be viable landing spots.
Visit a memorial to a cube in the desert or by a lake
Above is a map of where each of the Cube Memorials can be found. One is located on a small patch of land on the South side of Loot Lake, the other is located on a small desert mountain Southeast of Paradise Palms where Kevin The Cube first appeared.
Eliminate (3) opponents in the desert
The desert refers to the entire Southeast corner of the map, including the Race Track, Paradise Palms, Westworld, and the surrounding mountainous desert terrain.
Honestly, landing at Paradise Palms for a few games should allow you to complete this Challenge with ease. If you struggle with the larger, chaotic locations, consider landing at the small village south of Paradise which is commonly referred to as Westworld.
If you’re a new player or just struggle to win battles, consider checking out our YouTube Channel. Here we upload a large variety of videos aimed at helping players of all kinds improve their gameplay.
Search (3) chests at Loot Lake
Here is a map of the Chest spawns for Loot Lake. As described above for the Deal Damage challenge, avoid the water as you’ll be slowed down and exposed with very little cover.
The various lab buildings surrounding the Zero Point should prove to be good places to land as they provide good cover and can have multiple chest spawns. If you still find yourself struggling, consider landing at the edges of Loot Lake, such as the modern house on the Northern side.
Consume (10) foraged mushrooms
Foraged Mushrooms are the little blue Mushrooms which grant Shield and can be found in the wooded forest areas of the map such as Lonely Lodge. Above is a map of all areas in which Foraged Mushrooms can spawn.
Don’t stress too much about completing this Challenge, most players will pick these up on sight if they’re in need of Shield. You’re likely to passively complete it without even realizing.
Cheat Sheet
If you're more the cheat sheet type, we've got you covered thanks to @ItsEnergie!
Prestige Objectives
Use (4) Rifts
Above you can find a map of the four different Rifts found around the map. The Rifts found at Loot Lake and on the Southern Snowy Island have infinite uses, the Rifts found at the Durrr Burger and outside of Paradise Palms are single-use.
Search (5) chests in Rift Zones
At the time of writing, the current active Rift Zones include Neo Tilted/Tilted Town, Mega Mall/Retail Row, and Loot Lake. Unfortunately we do not have a map of Chest spawns for Tilted Town or Retail Row as they are not permanent additions to the Season X map.
Loot Lake
Eliminate (3) opponents at a mountain top Viking Village or Loot Lake
As a little refresher in case you’ve forgotten since the earlier Challenge, the mountain top Viking Village can be found Southeast of Snobby Shores while Loot Lake can obviously be found just above the center of the map.
Viking Village
Here is a map of Chest spawns for the Viking Village. As indicated by the map, the loot distribution is pretty even per building due to the small size of the location. The underside of the Viking Ship is a good place to land as it provides good cover and will give you some time to harvest materials to defend yourself.
Loot Lake
Here is a map of Chest spawns for Loot Lake. Generally, you want to avoid the water as it significantly slows you down and leaves you vulnerable with little cover. The various lab buildings around the lake should prove to be viable landing spots.
Visit cube memorials in the desert and by a lake
Once again, here is a map for each of the two Cube Memorial locations.
Desert
The Desert Cube Memorial can be found on a small desert mountain Southeast of Paradise Palms where Kevin The Cube first appeared.
Lake
The Lake Cube Memorial can be found on a small patch of land on the South side of Loot Lake.
Eliminate (4) opponents at Paradise Palms or Fatal Fields
Because this Challenge doesn’t require all four eliminations to be done in a single match, just land at either of the locations for a few games and you’re likely to complete it with ease.
Paradise Palms
Here is a map of Chest spawns for Paradise Palms. The large hotel building tends to be very populated due to its size, but as long as you make it inside it’s a pretty good spot to land as you’ve got lots of cover and exit routes alongside the many Chest spawns.
Fatal Fields
Here is a map of Chest spawns for Fatal Fields. Obviously indicated by the map, the large barn has the most possible spawns for Chests and is likely to be the most populated. Wherever you land, avoid running out in the middle of the fields. You can also take cover inside of the crops if you find yourself in a bad situation.
Search (7) chests at Loot Lake or Lucky Landing
Depending on your playstyle, these locations are pretty equal when it comes to viability. Loot Lake has nearly double the potential Chest spawns as Lucky Landing, but they are spread over a much larger area and the water will slow players significantly.
Loot Lake
If you land at Loot Lake, consider staying indoors, avoid the water at all costs. You can also use the Rift in the Zero Point as a way of escaping the area should you need it.
Lucky Landing
Lucky Landing can be chaotic if enough players land there, which is likely depending on the bus route given this Challenge. The restaurant on the Northside of Lucky has three Chest spawns with a good amount of cover as they’re located in the attic, consider this when choosing where to land.
Consume (5) foraged mushrooms in a single match
Here is a map showing the three locations which Foraged Mushrooms can be found.
Because this Challenge requires five to be consumed in a single match, the best course of action is to land at Lonely Lodge and pick up any Mushrooms in sight. If you find yourself full on Shields, stick around and use the Mushrooms to refill before using Shield Pots after a fight.
