The second week of the Fortnite Summer Skirmish has concluded—and the top players in Europe got their chance to shine in today’s $500,000 Solo tournament.
Kamo of Team Prismatic prevailed as the winner with 174 total points, edging out Supremacy’s Vato to claim the $60,000 grand prize. Like yesterday’s event, points were earned by securing eliminations, winning games, and reaching the 20-kill mark in a single match.
Today’s $500,000 tournament saw the top five finish within 16 points of each other, showing that the European event was much more closely-contested than yesterday’s North American showdown. While Europe had a few strong players competing near the end, NA had a winner finish nearly an entire game’s worth ahead of second place.
PlayStation 4 player iDropz_Bodies dominated the North American tournament yesterday, earning more than $110,000 thanks to his aggressive playstyle. The console star, however, was accused of cheating immediately after the tournament ended. Some people in the community claimed he used keyboard and mouse on PS4 or coordinated with friends to earn easy kills.

Epic Games confirmed earlier in the day via Reddit that it found no evidence that indicated Bodies did either, though. That still won’t stop some fans from doubting that the relatively-unknown player won in a legitimate manner.
Despite what some believe, the second week of the Summer Skirmish series is behind us and fans will turn their attention to next week, which will almost certainly feature new competitors and formats.
