Following the pattern established by many recent cosmetic-themed tournaments before this one, Lazar and Fresh’s Super Knockback tournament runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. local time in the United States. For those who need more precise regional times, we’ve listed them below in Eastern Standard Time.

NA East: 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. EST
NA West: 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. EST
Europe: 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST
Oceania: 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. EST (March 4)
Brazil: 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. EST
Asia: 4 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. EST
Middle East: 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. EST

While it is technically possible to play in other regions by switching your region in the settings menu, official rules state the tournament can only be entered once regardless of region. Given that using non-home regional servers increases latency, we suggest sticking to the closest geographic option if you can.

How does scoring work in Lazar & Fresh’s Super Knockback?

With regard to format, Lazar & Fresh’s Super Knockback has a more unique gameplay concept compared to the DC and Marvel tournaments of the past. Not only does the loot pool feature “more powerful versions of knockback weapons,” but players can emote to heal and all fall damage has been removed. In other words, this is Fortnite Battle Royale like it’s never been seen before.

Beneath that concept, though, the Duos scoring system is fairly ordinary. Here’s what it looks like.

10-match maximum
Victory Royale: 60 Points
Second: 54 Points
Third: 51 Points
Fourth: 49 Points
Fifth: 47 Points

How to get the Lazarbeam skin early

To check your Duo’s placement, go to the Competitive tab and select the tile for Lazar & Fresh’s Super Knockback while the tournament is underway. You’ll have the option to view the live leaderboard there. If that doesn’t work, a third-party site like Fortnite Tracker may be able to help. Just make sure you’re looking at the correct results for your region if you decide to use that method instead.

Note that, even if you don’t win, the whole bundle will be available to purchase when the Item Shop refreshes March 4 at 7 p.m. EST. It’ll likely cost a pretty penny to get the full set, but at least you’ll still be able to rep one of your favorite streamers. That’s all you need to know about Lazar & Fresh’s Super Knockback tournament in Fortnite.

Fortnite is available now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, PC and Android.
