XSET has emerged as the champion of the Fortnite Esports World Cup 2024, a tournament that showcased the highest level of competitive gaming. The event, which began at the end of last week, culminated in an intense playoff series on the 10th and 11th of August, where XSET proved their dominance in the esports scene.

From the very beginning, XSET established itself as a formidable force, demonstrating the skill and strategy that set it apart from the competition. The grand finals saw them face off against Exceed, a team known for their resilience and tactical gameplay.

Here is the video:

The series kicked off with XSET securing a commanding 3-0 victory in the Capture the Flag (CTF) mode, setting the tone for the rest of the finals. However, Exceed quickly bounced back, taking the Hardpoint match and handing XSET their only loss in the series.

Despite the setback, XSET remained undeterred. They regrouped and came back stronger, winning the subsequent Keeper match, regaining momentum with another Hardpoint victory, and finally sealing their triumph with a decisive win in Keeper again.

This outstanding performance not only earned them the coveted World Cup trophy but also a significant share of the prize pool, taking home $400,000 of the $1 million up for grabs. Exceed, although unable to maintain their winning streak after their initial victory in Hardpoint, finished as the runner-up, earning $160,000 for their efforts.

The tournament also saw commendable performances from other top teams, with Heroic and Karmine Corp securing third and fourth places respectively, while Gaimin Gladiators rounded out the top five. The Fortnite Esports World Cup 2024 was a thrilling showcase of the best talent in the game, with XSET's victory solidifying their place at the pinnacle of competitive Fortnite.
