Fortnite Summer Smash 2020 event date confirmed Australia\u2019s best Fortnite players will have their chance to claim glory yet again as the Summer Smash is set to make a return in early February. Since bursting onto the battle royale scene, Fortnite\u2019s competitive side of things has been going strong with numerous LAN events being capped off by the mega Fortnite World Cup back in July. Since the end of that $30 million tournament, however, LAN events have been few and far between \u2013 with the best Fortnite players focusing on online competition with the FNCS. However, the next offline event for them to try their hands at is coming around sooner rather than later \u2013 but only those in Australia will be able to play. That\u2019s right, the Summer Smash at the Australian Open will be making its return to the Fortnite competitive calendar for 2020. Don\u2019t let the use of summer in the name fool you though \u2013 this event isn\u2019t taking six months to come around. Instead, it\u2019ll be played during Australia\u2019s summer season \u2013 with the first official LAN date coming on Saturday, February 1. According to the event listing on Ticketmaster\u2019s Australian website, it\u2019ll be another two-day event \u2013 running through Sunday, February 2. Like last time, there won\u2019t just be competitive action on show, as there will be another charity pro-am taking place \u2013 with the details of how to get involved coming at a later date.

Just who will be taking part this time around remains to be seen, with last year\u2019s charity portion containing a mix of Australian and worldwide creators including Lazarbeam, Lachlan, Valkyrae, and Vikkstar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
