Celebrities We Want to See at the E3 Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am Event

This year's E3 event will be the host for one of the biggest events in Fortnite: Battle Royale's history, as 50 pro gamers and 50 celebrities from multiple industries will be joining forces to form teams and be the last ones standing at the end of the Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am tournament in Los Angeles, California. With Epic Games' Battle Royale title becoming the hottest game in the world, there are a whole host of celebrities who have announced their love for the game. No announcements of which stars that will be competing have been made public, but we have a few well known figures that we believe should be fighting on the Fortnite battlefields at E3 this year. 

Drake

Drake forever inserted himself into Fortnite lore when he joined forces with Tyler "Ninja" Belvins, Juju Smith-Schuster and Travis Scott to help break the Twitch record for most concurrent viewers for an individual streamer. Showing off the skills that he has acquired from his down time at the studio, Drake would easily show his opponents that it is all in "God's Plan" that he take home the E3 Fortnite Celebrity Pro-AM Championship.

UMBC Men's Basketball Team

The University of Maryland, Baltimore County men's basketball team made history with their upset victory over the Virginia Cavaliers in this year's NCAA tournament, as it was the very first time that a number 16 seed had ever defeated a number one seed. Showing off their love for Fortnite by performing celebration dances from the game and even crediting the Battle Royale game for helping them achieve the victory, it would only make sense that the Fortnite players on the UMBC men's basketball team show that they can pull upsets on the court and in Tilted Towers. 

Post Malone

Post Malone is one of the most popular musicians at the moment and is also an avid gamer in his own right. Streaming the likes of Call of Duty: WWII and Player Unknowns Battlegrounds on his Twitch channel, given the chance to defeat some of his celebrity counter parts could convince the rapper to show off his skills in Fortnite for a change. 

Kyle Long

Another avid gamer from the ranks of professional sports, Kyle Long is an offensive lineman for the Chicago Bears and spends many hours streaming on his own personal Twitch channel. Utilizing his aggressive and protective playstyle from taking on NFL defensive lineman and protecting his quarterback Mitch Trubisky, Kyle Long would help his Fortnite teammates always have the cover and shields they needed to stay alive. 

Logic

While Logic has not been the most vocal about Fortnite as other celebrities, he did issue a challenge to Drake during his playing time with Ninja where he stated that "drizzy don't want it with Bobby!". With a showdown at the E3 Celebrity Pro-Am tournament , Drake and Bobby Tarantino can finally decide who is the king of musicians in the world of Fortnite. 

Gordon Hayward

Currently a professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics, Gordon Hayward is known as a die hard video game player that has recently taken up Epic Games' Battle Royale title. While one of his latest Fortnite matches did not go as planned with his young daughter almost costing him a victory, Gordon Hayward would be able to show off his Fortnite skills against some of of the biggest names in the world without having to worry about surprise visits at E3's Celebrity Pro-Am event.  

Juju Smith-Schuster

A member of the record breaking squad that included the likes of Ninja, Drake and Travis Scott, Juju-Smith Schuster is a Fortnite fnatic that plays whenever and wherever he can, even in the airport. Being a member of the Pitssburgh Steelers and FaZe Clan, the competitive nature of Juju in both professional football and the gaming world would undoubtly drive him to do whatever he can to achieve victory at the first Celebrity Fortnite Pro-Am tournament. 

Roseanne Barr

Claiming that she has over 20 Fortnite Victory Royale wins, Roseanne competing at the E3 Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am tournament would allow her to show that racking up wins in Fortnite is not just for the younger generation. Giving some of the youngster celebrities and gamers some of her signature no nonsense life advice, while blowing them away with the new heavy shotgun, would make for a great show. 

Josh Hart

Another NBA player who loves to rack up victory royales in Fortnite, Josh Hart is a member of the Los Angeles Lakers and has shown his love for the Battle Royale mode of Fortnite by having his own custom Fortnite sneakers created. Rocking those kicks while competing would easily have Josh Hart as the most fashionable player at the Pro-Am event. 

Travis Scott

The final member of the record breaking Fortnite squad, Travis Scott showed off his skills with Ninja, Drake and Juju Smith-Schuster and had viewers laughing all night with his bandaids description of the healing bandages that grace Fortnite. An appearance at the E3 Celebrity Pro-Am Fortnite event would give Travis Scott the chance to show that all of the other players competing that they are going to need Fortnite bandaids after he sees them on the virtual battlefield. 

With many members of the celebrity world showing off their love for gaming and Fortnite, the Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am tournament at this year's E3 expo will easily have some huge personalities that will draw in thousands of viewers. Perhaps we will see some of the names on this list collect a few wins and possibly even hold up the trophy at the end of what is sure to be one of the biggest events in the history of Fortnite.
