Fortnite has been pretty phenomenal at promoting organic events and unique ways to shake up what we know. With new skins, seasons and challenges, there's so much to catch up on at any moment.
This time, Fortnite is seeing Grammy awarded artist J Balvin making his way to the game, with a brand new cup to celebrate. Here's what you should know about it and when you can earn him for yourself.
BREAKING - J Balvin Cup Delayed by One Hour
The J Balvin Cup has been pushed back by one hour due to ongoing issues in Arena and Competitive game modes. It will now take place between 19:00-22:00 BST.
Fortnite J Balvin Cup Start Time
There are two central ways of unlocking the J Balvin items for yourself. The first is via the shop on August 26th. This is the most reliable way of getting your hands on them but it's also the most expensive.
If you would prefer, you can join the cup on August 24th for a chance to unlock it early for yourself. This being said, it will be quite hard.
How to register for it
To register for the cup, you need to have 2 factor authentication, a system that makes you type in a randomly generated code when you access it from a new device. This keeps your account much more secure. Outside of this, you have to be above level 30 and must play at the right time.
We will update here as we find the exact time. You have ten games in duos to earn as many points as you can possibly earn. The players who earn the most will be awarded the brand new items. Below is how points are tallied:
