May 4, 2019 Epic says it is waiting on bank details from tournament winners and will pay out prizes when that paperwork is completed correctly.
Back in January, the Australian Open professional tennis tournament played host to a Fortnite Summer Smash event, which boasted a prize purse of $400,000. Several winning participants in the event, which was dubbed “the largest competitive gaming event in Australian history,” are now saying they have never been paid their winnings. A player who goes by ttvLeftRightGN posted their version of events on the Fortnite subreddit this weekend. The top 100 qualifying players in the tournament were all to receive a prize payout from Epic Games, with 21st through 100th place earning $1,000 AUD a piece. ttvLeftRightGN says they were among this group, but that the prize has never been paid. Other players have complained about missing prizes as well, including a few who placed highly enough to win larger prizes. One player who goes by Devour placed eighth, which should have earned her $5,000, but she says she hasn’t been paid (Devour has organised a list of players waiting on prizes). Trident.Keith and Theschnake placed in the $25,000 bracket, and both are still waiting on payment.from PCGamesN http://bit.ly/2Y2t0cQ
