The Fortnite Frosty Frenzy is four Sessions of tournaments that span two days. Each Session consists of two Rounds. The top 500 Trio teams from North America East, North America West, Europe, and Brazil will advance from Round 1 to Round 2 in each Session. The top 250 Trio teams from Oceania, Asia, and the Middle East regions will advance between Rounds in each Session. Each Session is independent of one another, so players/teams can participate in all four Sessions if they wish.
