To avoid further complications, the start time for the Major 1 stage of the Fortnite Champion Series has been pushed back by one hour, so players are recommended to check the updated times in the Compete tab.
Additionally, drafts have been disabled on the Fortnite Battle Royale map to prevent further bugs until all servers are back up and running normally.
