Dr Disrespect’s first foray into competitive Fortnite came to a head at his Hot Shot Duo Drop event. The one-day tournament saw 16 teams of two battle in Fortnite’s Zero Build mode for a $100,000 prize pool.
The teams of two loaded into the same lobby as a four-person squad with the duo they faced off with in each round. The winning duo was decided based on which team secured the most kills in a best-of-three series. While the winning team advanced on to the next step in the bracket, the losers were forced to play for their lives in the best-of-one loser’s bracket.
Hosted by BoomTV, the Hot Shot Duo Drop featured several major Fortnite content creators and pros. Though some classic battle royale names were featured, the likes of Ninja, DrLupo, TimTheTatman, and even Dr Disrespect exited the competition early.
