The Acer Predator League Academy is holding the only Fortnite competition in Australia and New Zealand specifically designed for high schools.

Here’s how you can get involved 👇

Where we droppin', and when does it start?

Once you register your team, high schools will go head-to-head in weekly matches in Term 2 and 3 starting 16 April.

Schools can enter multiple teams, but students can only participate in one team per school so make sure to tell everyone you know!

The Live Final will be held at South by Southwest (SXSW) Sydney in October 2024 – a massive celebration of everything from tech and gaming to music and film.

Teams must register by April 14th to be eligible to participate at SXSW, otherwise you'll only be registered for online matches only!

How do the matches work?

Teams will work across three custom maps built within Fortnite.

Each map has been built to test your teamwork, strategy and critical thinking skills, which means comms are going to be very important.

• Map 1: Hardpoint – 4v4.
• Map 2: Knockout – 4v4.
• Map 3: Control – 4v4.
