Starting June 23-24 is the start of the Skills Challenge with the Solo Championship being on June 26. Epic Games will be running three bracket-style Skills Challenges centered around Building, Editing, and Aiming. There will be five different Fortnite Creative maps and a welcome hub that will be used for the event.

Each Skills Challenge will be a double-elimination bracket-style competition with eight total players competing. The top 3 teams from Chapter 2 Season 5 and the top 3 teams from Chapter 2 Season 6 will designate one person from their respective trios to compete in the Skills Challenges. Fortunately, two spots will also be left open for two players from each region to fill the rest of the spots available.
