Epic won't hold in-person Fortnite events in 2021

Epic Games announced it won't organise any in-person Fortnite events in 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Epic said its priority is the health and safety of both its staff and Fortnite players, and that there is too much uncertainty about the situation to guarantee either for the foreseeable future.
"With so much still unknown about what is practical and safe, we do not plan to hold in-person events in 2021, including a Fortnite World Cup," the announcement read. "We will continue to provide online competitions throughout 2021 with the hopes that physical events, in some form, can return at some point in the future."
