One of the biggest Fortnite events of the year is on the horizon with the Pro-Am tournament taking place this weekend, and we’ve got all the details you need.
While we’re all enjoying the content added in the Galactic Battle mini-season, some of the best players from around the world, alongside some of the most popular Fortnite content creators, are facing off in a star-studded tournament.
Whether you’re looking for the schedule, the teams, or how much money is available in the prize pool, we’ve got all the details you need.
When is The Fortnite Pro-Am?
The Fortnite Pro-Am tournament gets underway on Saturday, May 10 at the University of Southern California’s Galen Center.
Game One kicks off at 1:10 pm PT/3:10 pm CT/4:10 pm ET/9:10 pm BST, with the final match taking place two-and-a-half hours later, though this schedule is subject to any delays.
In total, six Reload Duos matches will be played, lasting 30 minutes each, with points scored based on a team’s finishing position and eliminations.
How Does The Fortnite Pro-Am Work?
Teams in the Fortnite Pro-Am are made up of one FNCS player and one content creator, with the likes of Ali-A, Lachlan, SypherPK, Nick Eh 30, and Loserfruit all involved. In total, there are 20 teams and 40 participants.
Over six games, points are earned from placement and elimination, with a total prize pool of $500k split amongst the players. Each position will receive at least $15k—we’ve got more on that later.
The event is classed as an offline event, with all the participants in the same arena, and you can follow the action live. If you watch 90 minutes on the official Fortnite Twitch Channel, the FNCS Emblem Spray is unlocked as a reward.
All Fortnite Pro-Am Teams
The star-studded line-up includes 20 of the most popular Fortnite content creators from around the world, including PWR pair Lachlan and Loserfruit, Nick Eh 30, and Ali-A.
On the FNCS side of things, former world winners competing include Queasy, Veno, Alex, and Khanada, so it will definitely be a difficult contest to call.
