To watch the event, you simply need to log into the game and ready up for the match. According to leaks, this will be a smaller event, similar to the events that took place in early Chapter 5. Due to this, it is very unlikely that Epic Games will release a new game mode for it. Keep in mind that you should log in at least 30 minutes before the event begins, as this will help you avoid queues or potential login issues.
