FNCS Solos Reload: the main event of November
After the Battle Royale FNCS Solos (late September to late October), Epic moves on to a solo Reload version. The setup: "Reload - Solo" matches, a three-round qualifier, Heats, a Last Chance Qualifier, then one Final per region with 40 players and 10 matches.
Entry is based on Power Rankings: you need to be in the global top 200,000 to play Round 1, and the top 1,000 skip straight to Round 2. In Europe, the champion takes home $60,000 according to the official rules' prize table.
The full breakdown (format, prize per placement, tips) is in our dedicated guide: FNCS Solos Reload 2026: dates, format and prize pool.
