Here is a recap of the Creative Trails, showcasing exactly how each of these players and teams made it all the way to New York City. 

Creative Finals format

The competition will feature four different games, each of which will consist of three matches. The team that performs the best over those three matches will earn a silver llama for their efforts.

The final match, called Golden Games, will award a special golden llama to the winning squad, which could prove to be a tie-breaker of sorts if the llama count stands even at the end.

The team that finishes the four games with the most llamas will secure first place and the $1 million cash prize.

Who will be playing the World Cup Pro-Am?

This weekend’s Pro-Am will be the third ever running of the competition, and much like the previous two, it will be a very star-studded affair.

As usual, 50 prominent members of the Fortnite community have been paired with 50 celebrities, and they will all do battle for a $3 million charity prize pool.

Celebrities include athletes, musicians, actors, and others, some of whom are pretty proficient at Fortnite, while a few may have never even played the game before.
