What was the total prize pool at the 2019 Fortnite World Cup?

The total prize pool at the 2019 Fortnite World Cup was US$30 million.

Epic Games staged the finals from July 26 to 28, 2019, at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City. The headline events were the solo and duos tournaments, but the overall purse covered several competitions, including the Creative Cup and the celebrity Pro-Am.

American player Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf won the solo final and received US$3 million. The duos winners, Nyhrox and Aqua, shared another US$3 million. The Creative Cup and Pro-Am also distributed substantial sums, bringing the event’s advertised total to US$30 million.

A common mix-up is the larger US$100 million figure. That was Epic’s announced Fortnite esports prize-money commitment for the broader 2018–2019 period, not the purse for this World Cup. The US$30 million answer refers specifically to the 2019 World Cup competitions.
