The winner at the end of the competition will host 50,000 V-Bucks . The second, third and fourth places receive 25,000 V-Bucks , while the fifth place players receive 13,500 V-Bucks . Top 100 players will receive 7,500 V-Bucks .
"We'll be using the Solo Showdown as a one-time stepping stone to learning how to build great events for all types of players," Epic said . said. As an added incentive to enter the competition, anyone who plays at least 50 matches will receive a unique spray regardless of whether they are in the top 100 or not.
The Solo Showdown is currently ongoing and will continue until 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET on May 21. Epic said it will update its official blog frequently with the standings.
