Starting on June 21, players can compete in the Thanos Cup for a chance to become the Infinity Stone wielding powerhouse.<\/p>\n<p>The details on Epic&#8217;s blog reads, \u201cGrab your Duos partner and compete in up to 10 total matches in 3 hours to earn as many points as you can. The top-performing teams in each region will earn the Thanos Outfit and Back Bling inspired by Marvel Studios\u2019 Avengers: Endgame. For anyone who earns 8 total points, you\u2019ll receive the Thanos Watches! Spray. Note: It may take several days before prizing can be rewarded to all players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is also worth noting that players must have an Epic Account at level 30 and enable two-factor authentication\u00a0on that account.
