Twitchcon 2019 hosted a LAN based Twitch Rivals tournament for professional players, streamers, and attendees alike. Several notable celebrities participated in the tournament, including Grayson Allen, Tfue, and Dr DisRespect. In a podcast interview, CapitalistAries (a player who participated at the event) confirmed that the event "featured a wide variety of players, with about a third of the entire convention being involved." The tournament featured Fortnite on Friday, League of Legends (both standard gameplay, and Teamfight Tactics), and Apex Legends. While Twitch Rivals featured a two million dollar prize pool overall, Epic Games (who own Fortnite) supplied one million dollars to pay for the Fortnite tournament.
