The number of esports events during 2020 was considerably reduced during 2020 due to the coronavirus, and it seems that the trend will continue in 2021. This is how Epic Games canceled all Fortnite face-to-face events for next year due to the pandamie.
Among the events canceled is the popular Fortnite World Cup, and according to what they pointed out through the game page “Our intention is to once again host global face-to-face events, but our priority for those events is the health and safety of the players and staff.”
Despite this, they detailed that online events will be held next year. “With so much uncertainty still about what is practical and safe, we do not plan to hold face-to-face events in 2021, including the Fortnite World Cup. We will continue to offer online competitions throughout 2021 in the hope that physical events can somehow return in the future. “
This decision in this way is added to that of Valve, which for its part canceled a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Major that would take place in the first half of 2021.
