Gametech: Fortnite winner in for long haul

Unlike its name implies, Fortnite will be around for some time yet. Last week, Epic Games announced they were pumping $100m of prize money into the game globally, in an effort to keep the competitive scene thriving.

That will be music to the ears of Alex Corrigan, from Cootehill in Co Cavan, who won the inaugural eStars Fortnite tournament at Croke Park recently. Alex, who is 15, now progresses to the final in Stamford Bridge, London, to represent Ireland for a chance to win £25,000.
