El desarrollador de Fortnite, Epic Games, decidió cancelar la Copa Mundial de Fortnite 2020 debido a la pandemia del coronavirus.
En una serie de tuits a través de su cuenta @FNCompetitive, la compañía proporcionó una nueva hoja de ruta con planes para el resto del 2020.
«Debido a las limitaciones de la competencia en línea entre regiones, no habrá una Copa Mundial de Fortnite en el 2020». Todos los torneos, incluidos los de eventos de terceros, serán en línea hasta nuevo aviso.
Physical Events – For the rest of 2020, all Fortnite competitions will be held online. Due to the limitations of cross region online competition, there will not be a Fortnite World Cup in 2020.

«No sabemos cuándo será práctico el regreso a grandes eventos mundiales en persona, pero esperamos poder organizar algún tipo de Copa Mundial de Fortnite en el 2021. Mientras tanto, tenemos más información sobre eventos en línea con FNCS, Cash Cups, eventos de terceros y transmisiones».
We don't know when a return to large, global, in-person events will be practical, but we're hopeful to be able to put on some form of Fortnite World Cup in 2021. In the meantime we have more info about online events with FNCS, Cash Cups, 3rd Party Events and Broadcasts.
