All-Women Fortnite Finals to Light Up LA Comic-Con
Dust off your gaming gear and prepare for a thrilling eSports spectacle. The all-female Fortnite LAN showdown, known as the Milk Cup, is gearing up for an electrifying finale at Los Angeles Comic-Con.
A Showdown Like No Other
On October 5th, the top 99 female gamers from across the nation will battle it out for supremacy and a lucrative prize pool. This highly anticipated event is the culmination of a series of qualifiers that have already racked up over 2.5 million views, thanks to the collaborative efforts of Women of the eRena, Raidiant, and Gonna Need Milk.
The finals, set to take place in the Freeplay zone of the West Hall, promise an adrenaline-fueled experience. The tournament will feature the intense build trios format, where players will face off in a series of elimination rounds. The Milk Cup’s commitment to inclusivity and professionalism is evident, as they’ve covered travel and accommodation costs for the participating teams, ensuring financial barriers don’t hinder the competition.
Expect engaging commentary from Kelly Link, LemonKiwi, and Taco on Twitch. The finals will unfold over six matches, scored by a mix of placement points and team eliminations. Viewers can also look forward to exclusive giveaways and a celebration of the players’ skills.
Bringing the Action to You
If you’re planning to catch the action live, there’s a discounted ticket price of $30 for teens aged 13-17. But for those who can’t make it to LA, don’t worry—you can watch the entire event online from the comfort of your own home.
The Milk Cup’s progressive approach to competitive gaming is as refreshing as its name. Women of the eRena (WOTE), Fortnite streamer ThePeachCobbler, and an all-women production team from Raidiant have worked tirelessly to create an inclusive environment for women in the male-dominated world of professional gaming. They’ve removed entry barriers and welcomed players of all skill levels.
This journey has been more than just a tournament; it’s become a cultural milestone for women in eSports. With over 300 competitors and millions of viewers, the Milk Cup has earned its place among the most-watched women’s eSports events of the year.
A Milestone for Women in eSports
Corporate support has also been strong. MilkPEP’s Sr. Marketing Manager, Jen Grubb, described the Milk Cup as “a natural evolution of Gonna Need Milk’s commitment to supporting and empowering women in sports, including eSports.”
L.A. Comic Con’s VP and Event Director Alli Johnson expressed excitement, stating, “The L.A. Comic Con team is thrilled to play host to The Milk Cup LAN Championship. An incredible event empowering women gamers to compete and further their career.”
Imagine the intensity: the battlefield, the clicking controllers, and the electric atmosphere. “The Milk Cup: Finals” promises to be an epic event that you won’t want to miss.
