“I’ve been playing Fortnite for a long time – when I saw LeBron had joined the Icon Series, it made me want to join the Fortnite family too,” Osaka said in a press release. “It’s really amazing to be able to connect with so many people around the world.”
The Naomi Osaka Cup event will put players in a solo tournament on Wednesday, March 2, 2022. Winning means potentially getting the skins mentioned above at no actual cost.
