ANTONIO, July 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- The loser has to buy Whataburger, right? It sounds
like the stakes are high as Whataburger unveiled its brand-new
Whataburger-themed Fortnite "Bedwars" map. The new map launched
today at 11 A.M. EDT/10 A.M. CDT, going live alongside the
announcement of "Breakfast in Bedwars," Whataburger's
first-ever Fortnite Tournament.
The all-new custom map combines Fortnite's building and combat
mechanics with the popular creative mode "Bedwars," while offering
players an action-packed, Whataburger-fueled experience. In
Fortnite "Bedwars," four teams of three players will strive to
defend their beds while simultaneously launching daring attacks on
their opponents' bases – all for a chance to win $25,000 in cash prizes.

submit their entries to participate in the tournament! Simply post
your best clips playing the new Whataburger "Breakfast in Bedwars"
map on the social platform "X" and tag #BreakfastInBedwars. The

tournament captains and bring two teammates into battle in the
exclusive qualifier on July 17. The
qualifier consists of a single elimination bracket. The top four
teams will advance to the main event on July
22 to compete alongside popular Fortnite creators for a
share of the $25,000 prize pool. The
first-place winning team will clutch their share of the
$10,000 grand prize.
