“Ninja Battles” is Ninja‘s own tournament on Fortnite similar to the cash cups but with a lot more money. Each tournament has a prize pool of $80,000. It will be a weekly tournament from May-July and it will start on May 28th at 12 PM PST / 3 PM EST. It will take place every Thursday starting tomorrow. This money is more than the money you would get if you get first place in multiple cash cups. The tournaments will also be streamed on Ninja’s mixer. It looks like Ninja is trying to revive competitive Fortnite with these “Ninja Battles”.

The only other streamer to do this for their game is Nickmercs with his MFAM Gauntlet. The MFAM Gauntlet has a prize pool of $50,000 and it went across three weeks.

When Ninja announced this on Twitter he said, “I’m excited to announce Ninja Battles! An online Fortnite invitational series featuring six events across May – July, each with an $80,000 prize pool. Starts tomorrow Thursday, May 28 at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET. http://Mixer.com/Ninja #NinjaBattles.”
