L.A. Comic Con 2024 To Host Inaugural The Milk Cup LAN ‘Fortnite’ Championship

Los Angeles Comic Con (LACC) 2024 is looking to be an eclectic event. Not only will they host popular actors such as Hayden Christensen, the cast of Back to the Future, and Ewan McGregor, it was recently announced that they will hold Gonna Need Milk’s inaugural The Milk Cup LAN Fortnite Championship. 

The championship will see 99 of the best female gamers try to win their share of a $250,000 prize pool — the largest in North American history. The competition will be broadcasted live on the gaming stage with participants occupying the entirety of the Freeplay zone found in the West Hall. They will take part in a build trios tournament format, which is scored by a combination of placement points and team eliminations throughout six matches. To make The Milk Cup LAN Fortnite Championship accessible to younger gamers, LACC is selling a specially priced Milk Teen ticket for those aged 13-17 starting at $30. 

Chris DeMoulin, CEO at Comikaze Entertainment, L.A. Comic Con’s parent company said:

We are thrilled to host The Milk Cup at this year’s show. We believe this tournament is not just about competition, it’s about creating opportunities and helping empower a community where women in gaming can thrive. We are honored to be a part of such a historic event.

Can’t be there in person? No problem since matches and highlighted gameplay will be streamed via IGN and live-streamed on Twitch for global audiences.
