ANZ’s Fortnite Stars To Compete For Share Of US$3 Million Global Prize Pool

Ninety of the Oceanic region’s top professional Fortnite players have been invited to compete in the Fortnite Champions Series (FNCS) All-Star Showdown from 23 to 26 June, a first of its kind high-stakes, skill-based tournament inside community-built Fortnite Creative maps, with a US$3M global prize pool.

Every Fortnite player in Australia and New Zealand will have a chance to qualify for the Solo Championship and compete for the US$20,000 first prize by participating in the Play In tournament from 18 to 20 June. Back to back regional champions TNA Muz, TNA Looter and TNA Speedy will defend their titles in this All-Star Showdown, against players such as content creator and pro gamer Fresh, and AO Summer Smash 2020 champion HVT Breso.

The FNCS All-Star Showdown will test top Fortnite Competitive players on their Building, Editing, and Aiming, but the grand finale will be a Solo Championship (with a twist). Partnering with Fortnite Creative builders ImmatureGamer, Enigma, and Dummblond, the All-Star Showdown will feature unique Fortnite Creative maps and a decked-out welcome hub for fans to check out during the entirety of the event.

Fortnite Creative is a game mode within Fortnite that allows players to build and play on community-built maps that use Fortnite’s tools in unique ways.
