SLIDY 23 tops Fortnite’s first EU Arenas Cash Cup by 64 points

Seven wins and 88 eliminations put SLIDY 23 clear of the field on 25 October. Third-placed snap nyl5a won more matches, but the session was decided on total points.

SLIDY 23 finished first in the European Arenas Cash Cup on 25 October 2026, scoring 306 points across the maximum 12 matches. Epic’s completed leaderboard puts 7sen 27ǃ second on 242 and snap nyl5a third on 240.

The 64-point winning margin came with seven Victory Royales and 88 eliminations. It was a different route to the top from snap nyl5a’s: the third-placed player recorded eight wins in eight matches, yet finished 66 points behind SLIDY 23.

More wins did not mean more points

The leading three rows of Epic’s final EU leaderboard show the distinction:

Place Player Points Victory Royales Matches Eliminations
1 SLIDY 23 306 7 12 88
2 7sen 27ǃ 242 3 12 60
3 snap nyl5a 240 8 8 81

This was a points competition, not a race to the highest win count. The official rules put total points ahead of Victory Royales in the ranking order, with wins used before average eliminations and average placement to separate tied scores. None of the top three finished level on points.

The table also shows why win rate alone misses part of the result: snap nyl5a had a perfect recorded win count over eight matches, while SLIDY 23 accumulated points over twelve. The public results establish those totals, not why one player stopped at eight.

A short Solo event with multiple lives

The completed session used Solo Arenas, with a maximum of eight players per match and up to four reboots per player—five lives in total. Players could enter up to twelve matches during an approximately two-hour session. This was not a 100-player Battle Royale final, nor the same lobby-size rule as everyday Ranked Arenas.

Our pre-event entry and prize guide covers the Platinum Arenas requirement and the regional prize split. The EU rules list US$1,000 for first, $750 for second and $500 for third, subject to Epic’s eligibility verification; the leaderboard is not confirmation that those payments have been made.
