The inaugural 2019 Pro-Am champion MrFreshAsian launches his title defence by joining forces with YouTube superstar Lachlan and Sydney musician Enschway.

“I’m so excited that we have international players coming to play in Aus and hopefully I can get two Australian Open Charity Pro-Am wins in a row,” Harley ‘MrFreshAsian’ Campbell said.

Reuben Styles of Peking Duk returns to join Muselk and 2019 Fortnite World Cup qualifier x2TwinsJordan.

“I’m incredibly excited to see the Australian Fortnite community come together for this amazing event. The 2019 AO event was an incredible time, and the inclusion of so many international talent this year should make the 2020 event even more special,” Elliot ‘Muselk’ Watkins, said.

Brisbane Lions midfielder Mitch Robinson will team up with Chiefs Esports Club compatriot Slaya and Perth YouTuber Mau whilst LazarBeam, comedian Dave Hughes and Renegades’ newly signed pro player Rel have combined to create what some have called the powerhouse team of the tournament.

“From playing in front of 95,000 at the MCG, I never thought I’d play a video game on Margaret Court Arena during the Australian Open. In 2019 the arena and the buzz was something I’ll never forget, it was a first in Australia and I’m so excited to be back again at this years’ AO Summer Smash next weekend, ” Former AFL star turned gamer Mitch Robinson said.
