The climax of week two took place Wednesday night at 8 PM. The first House at Home Fortnite tournament took place. With 23 combined campers and staff, everybody was excited to play the game that has taken the world by storm these past couple years. This tournament was split up so there were teams of two going into a private lobby hosted by Zach Andelman. The tournament was split up into five games and whoever had the most points at the end of the night would win the game. The point system worked as follows, every elimination was a point and however high you placed in your respective game, you got a certain number of points. A win in a round is worth 10 points. With the first two rounds being intense and coming down to the wire, it was Joe Connelly and Jackson Magee who won back to back rounds to take a commanding lead in the tournament.
In the third round, we had a late entry from JJ Alexander and Ryan Torres. The two of them came in and had a commanding first performance with a win and a plethora of eliminations. The second to last game came down to the final seconds with Nathan Reisenberger having more health than Aidan Connelly to secure the win. Reisenberger and his partner Griffin Yas took the cautious approach the entire game as they had zero eliminations but secured the win anyway. The final game came down to the final placement points as the top four teams were in the top four respectively. Ryan Torres and JJ Alexander ended up securing the win in the final game making a push for the top spot.
The final results were calculated, and Joe Connelly and Jackson Magee took home first place with 50 points and two victories. Ryan and JJ came in second with 45 points, also securing two victories. If they had shown up earlier, they surely would have secured the whole tournament win. Third place went to Aidan Connelly and Jonah Bloch, always placed in the top six and Aidan recorded a bunch of eliminations helping his team get the bronze with 40 points. Griffin Yas and Nathan Reisenberger ended up with a tiebreaker against Josh Wolf and Matty Vogel for fourth place, each with 32 points. Since Nathan and Griffin had won a game, they take fourth place and Josh Wolf and Matty Vogel come in and take fifth place.
The first House at Home Fortnite Cup was a huge success and next week, on July 15 at 8 PM, we are looking to organize another tournament with teams of three this time.
