The Fortnite celebrity Pro-Am is a 100 player battle-royale match consisting of Fortnite celebrities and worldwide celebrities alike. The Fortnite Summer Block Party 2019 will be held from June 15-16, hosted by video game developer Epic Games. The event will be at the Forum in Inglewood, California.
Similar to a regular Fortnite game, each player will be dropped into the same 100 player match. In which, all celebrities will battle head to head, with the remaining duo as the victors. Although the prize pool has not been announced, last year’s tournament had a huge prize pool of $3,000,000 USD, with the money being sent to a charity of the winners choice. As the name suggests, the duos contain a professional Fortnite player and a celebrity amateur player.
Epic Games has currently announced twelve duo partners. These are:
- Cloakzy and Dillon Francis
- DrLupo and Jordan Fisher
- Pokimane and Martin Doherty
- Valkyrae and Justin Jones
