The second annual Milk Cup all-female Fortnite tournament will take over TwitchCon later today, showcasing young female talent who are hoping to make it to the Fortnite Championship Series.
With $300,000 (~£223,000) on the line, this is the largest all-female esports prize pool in North America. While intimidating, the competitors are feeling confident and excited about the opportunity.
Ahead of the event on October 18th, Esports Insider was able to speak to the Duos ahead of the action.
This partnership between Gonna Need Milk and Twitch is a rare opportunity for young women in esports to participate in a high-stakes, professionally produced LAN with a built-in fanbase of convention goers that watch their streams on Twitch.
