Esports players from Russia can’t play in tournaments with cash prizes anymore

Fortnite players from Russia are sanctioned by Epic Games again. Earlier, they lost access to Epic Games payment services. So, I must tell you right off, the new ban is as follows: esports players from Russia can’t play Fortnite tournaments and make money off it anymore, which means that the ongoing March PlayStation Cup will pass the Russian community by.

Since March 11, 2022, all esports players from Russia lost the right to play Fortnite tournaments with cash prizes. Meanwhile, they can play in arena mode and tournaments without cash prizes.

From now one, all these esports guys will play in public matches from boredom, so get ready to hide in bushes. Of course this is a joke, but in truth, what’s gonna happen to pro players? And we didn’t even talk about regular players that want to donate or make money with a creator code, but can’t do so.
