Esports World Cup 2026: BIG secures Fortnite trophy after tense Finals phase

The Esports World Cup has officially come to a close after a very busy seven weeks of competition. The major festival wrapped up over the weekend with a handful of tournaments, including the major Fortnite event that brought together 40 of the best duos from around the globe.

Now this tournament has reached its conclusion, it has been confirmed BIG is the organisation who has come out on top, with its duo spanning Taylor-Petrik "vic0" Gatschelhofer and Danila "Malibuca" Iakovenko crowned victors after a very tense Finals phase of play.

This result means the pair will be walking away with as much as $260,000 in prize money, plus a further 1,000 Club Championship points, the majority of which BIG has earned at this entire EWC.

As for what's next for competitive Fortnite, the World Championship is set to commence in the autumn, so expect even more crucial and demanding competition to unravel in the weeks ahead.
