How to compete in Blanka & Sakura Cup in Fortnite
There are two Blanka & Sakura Cups taking place in Fortnite: The first on April 27 is Android only in Zero Build Duos, while the second on April 28 is for all platforms in Battle Royale Duos.
Competitors can play up to 10 matches within their region’s three-hour time window, which can be found by visiting the Competitive tab in Fortnite. Points are earned for eliminations and high match placements.
That’s not all, as the top performers in each region will earn the Bonus Stage Loading Screen featuring Blanka and Sakura. Unfortunately, there’s no opportunity to earn the skins for free this time around.
