After seeing the success of his Friday Fortnite tournaments, YouTuber Daniel “KEEMSTAR” Keem has decided to host a massive event on Thursday each week for one of the newest battle royale games around, Realm Royale.
In early July, KEEMSTAR revealed his intention to host another battle royale tournament. This time, however, it would be on Hi-Rez Studios’ Realm Royale, a more comical and cartoony take on the genre. Upon its release, people seemed to really enjoy the game, leading to personalities spending more time playing it.
Despite its early success, though, many were surprised to hear of a weekly competition with such a large prize pool. It’s unknown whether the event series will be successful, but it will surely be interesting to follow.
Here is a viewer’s guide to KEEMSTAR’s $100,000 Realm Royale tournament.
Stream
This week’s competition on Aug. 9 has been canceled by KEEMSTAR, but fans can typically watch that tournament from 3pm CT via dozens of streams. Not only will each of the players involved be broadcasting their point-of-view, there will be an official broadcast on the Realm Royale Twitch channel and Mixer channel.
Participants
Similar to Friday Fortnite, the $100,000 event will be made up of many popular internet personalities. The biggest draw, Twitch star Tyler “Ninja” Blevins will participate, and he will be joined by the likes of NoahJ456, Ben “DrLupo” Lupo, and Jaryd “Summit1G” Lazar.
Schedule
While the upcoming tournament was canceled, KEEMSTAR said it will return, and when it does, the tournament will begin each Thursday at 3pm CT. Games will go on for most of the day after that, likely ending near the start of the next day.
System
Using a different system than that of the Friday Fortnite events, this competition’s winner will be the duo that have the least amount of points.
The 30 teams will play 10 games on North American servers and earn positive points for their placement in a match while receiving negative points for the amount of kills. The two factors will be calculated to determine the team with the lowest total score.
Half of the $100,000 prize pool will go toward the winners while the second-place team receive $30,000 and third-place team gets $20,000.
This post will be updated weekly.
