To all this we need to add all the streamings made by the most famous Youtubers. Taking into account that Fortnite went on sale two years ago and that it already gathers half of the audience that a SuperBowl, we realize its current power and future projection.<\/p>\n<p>The brands that have been present in the Fortnite World Cup have been <strong>GrubHub and Wix<\/strong>, which have sponsored some teams during this competition.
