Nunu Note: As I had trouble posting chapters for a few days, I'll post 1.4k word chapters to fill the Patreon tiers for you, when we have 20 advanced chapters again, I'll come back with the 2k word chapters, sorry for the inconvenience.

When the countdown finally reached 0, players in the stadium soon saw the beginning of the first Fortnite tournament.

In the center of the arena that players were sitting in Minecraft, an extremely realistic projection of a purple bus appeared.

On this purple bus, there were 100 people sitting while looking at a map projected in front of them.

Spectators could see the names of all the players on the bus, but the players could not name anyone who was there with them.

Even though there were players' names above their heads, many viewers didn't know most of the participants in this championship, as only 50 of the competitors were famous streamers, and it was impossible for those millions of people to know exactly who everyone was, so to help with that, a voice has emerged for both viewers who were watching this in the arena and those watching this on Twitch.

"Welcome everyone to the world's first Fortnite tournament!" A very familiar voice came to the players' surprise.

For those watching in person, they saw a person sitting on a bench while being projected in the corner of the arena, while for Twitch viewers, they saw a small screen appear in the corner of the stream.

The person there was known to everyone, Notch!

"To the surprise of many, today we have an incredible 200 million viewers for this incredible tournament! With over 48 million people watching in person in our fabulous Minecraft arena, and another 150 million more viewers on Twitch around the world. world!" Notch's words were shocking to viewers, who never imagined there were so many people watching this!

What made it a lot easier for Notch was that he could spend a small amount of GP to translate everything that would be said simultaneously to the viewers, so no matter what language the person spoke in the broadcast, the viewers would hear it with the same voice as the person, but in the language of the country the person was watching!

"Thanks everyone for your support, now let's see our teams of players in a frenetic battle for the world's first Victory Royal!" Notch started to cheer people up as he slowly explained how Fortnite worked, as he knew that most viewers were just curious and had never seen anything about it.

With Notch's explanation, people started to understand why players were jumping off that bus, and they got excited when they saw that some players got weapons and were already looking for other players.

Even groups of favorites have already been created, whether it's Ned and Petter fans, or Tony Stark fans, everyone was screaming in the stadium when they saw their favorites appearing.

Alex could configure it so that each viewer only saw the players they were interested in, but he thought it best that only the scenes where there was a confrontation were shown, to make the broadcast less boring, since he knew that many people would spend minutes walking from one place to another without doing anything.

Thus, viewers finally got to see the first confrontation taking place between the participants!

"Come on Tony!" Thor heard one of the friends he'd made in the stands rooting for a warrior named Tony.

Not having any favorites, Thor thought it would be interesting to also cheer for his new friend's favorite and he also cheered along, which made the other Asgardian warriors cheer along and look at the projection in the center of the stadium.

"Tony Stark and StagDragon are getting closer and closer to the group of Aasher and AdamLopez! Observing the weapons of the two groups, their chances of victory are pretty even!" Notch narrated what made the audience excited for what the first confrontation would be like.

Thor was one of the people excited about the impending showdown. In the projection he saw that Tony and Stag were riding a motorcycle, while Tony was driving, Stag was pointing the gun around very concentrated trying to find enemies.

Aasher and Adam had already heard the noise of Tony's motorcycle and started to point their guns at where it was coming from.

Bang!

The first shot was fired by Aasher when Tony's motorbike came into view! Unfortunately Aasher was a little nervous as it was practically his first confrontation with other players and he shot too early, without managing to hit the players on the bike.

Tony was quick to get off the bike and point the gun at where the gunshot came from, while Stag, who was pointing the gun around and hadn't seen anyone yet, thought of something that could be more useful.

Thor, who was watching the battle excitedly, was surprised that next to Tony, his companion was doing construction.

"Uh, why is he building instead of fighting like his mate?" Thor asked confused as he tried to understand.

Fortunately, Notch was narrating and quickly explained to the confused audience as Thor.

"Well done! StagDragon was quick to understand the true magic of battles in Fortnite, while Tony, Aasher and Adam are confused about where the opponent is, Stag was quick to build a structure to protect him and try to secure the HighGround!" Notch was excited to see Stag using the strategy he made to deal with Iron Man's armor.

When Thor heard this he was surprised, like a good warrior, he understood the advantage of being able to battle with the advantage of terrain.

"Wow, and to think that the first time Stag saw someone doing this was yesterday! I didn't even remember that it was possible to build in this game…" One of the friends Thor made commented while laughing when he realized that he also didn't remember that he could build in this game .

Thor and the warriors of Asgard were surprised by this information, but it didn't make them as excited as other people, since they didn't care so much about such advanced thoughts, they were more muscle warriors than great generals.

Seeing the building that StagDragon was building, Tony didn't think too much and climbed the wooden structure together with his companion.

With the HighGround secured, they soon found opponents Aasher and Adam.

Despite having good coordination to build the structure quickly, Stag's aim was very poor, as he was just an ordinary Gamer in real life, on the other hand, Tony had very accurate aim, to the point of surprising players with the 4 headshots in a row he landed on both players!

"Stag made great use of Magic BluePrint's builds while Tony used his vast experience as a weapons developer to abuse his absurd aim to eliminate the two opposing players!" Notch yelled excitedly declaring the first eliminations in Fortnite history!

Players around the arena excitedly shouted Tony and Stag's names, quite amazed at the difference in skill these players showed to their opponents!

Katchaa…

After Tony's battle was going on, a mighty thunderclap erupted in the Fortnite sky, which made Thor's brow furrow, confused by it, before shaking his head and thinking that it probably meant nothing.
