Rivalry Series rematch

2022 saw Ohio State and Michigan locking horns in the debut of the Rivalry Series. This unique competition unfolded on a specially designed Fortnite battleground, attracting notable alumni like Braxton Miller, along with NFL stars such as CJ Stroud and Roman Wilson. In this virtual showdown, Scoped, a prominent Fortnite streamer from Michigan, guided his team to the Rivalry Series Championship. Interestingly enough, they went on to win the actual football game the following weekend.

After a year’s break, Ohio State and Michigan are set to square off again in the Progressive Rivalry Series, marking the first rematch in this series. Many familiar faces and several top-tier newcomers will be on display for both teams. Ohio State is determined to exact revenge, while Michigan aims to retain its title as champions of the Rivalry Series.
