Fortnite: Battle Royale's Solo Showdown Needs To Have Way More Winners

Fortnite: Battle Royale's first competitive mode is almost over. At 10:00 AM ET today, May 21, Epic Games will close out Solo Showdown and provide the final point tally, showering the grand winner with a whopping 50,000 V-Bucks. For Epic, this first competitive mode is both an event in itself and a test run--the developer is working on how to make tournaments work in the future, as well as, we assume, other kinds of ranked play. This first outing appears to have been popular so far--the developer hasn't announced participation numbers, but judging by the sky-high point totals you need to even register even close to a leaderboard, people are interested. And if this is a test run, I have one big suggestion for how to make these things matter more in the future: let more people win.
