At PAX South, a new game mode for Fortnite will make its public debut. DrLupo will be going up against ONE_shot_GURL, and Lachian in the upcoming Liferun game mode. This competition will lead into the game's release for everyone on Sunday, January 19.
Liferun is a new Creative Mode game type for Fortnite. In Liferun, you will assume the role of an International Red Cross worker that is "racing to save lives, not take them."
This mode was created by Team Evolve, the people who made the Zone Wars and Creative Showdown modes. The event itself will be livestreamed from the PAX Arena on Sunday, January 19 at 10AM (CST).
There is also some information for Overwatch fans out there. On Saturday, January 18 from 2-6PM (CST), some professional players from the Houston Outlaws such as Shane "Rawkus" Flaherty and Austin "Muma" Wilmot will take part in a special Pro-Am. A bit more on that and the Stream Stars event can be found at the bottom of this post.
PAX South runs from January 17-19 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas.
PAX Arena celebrates amateur esports through “Almost Pro,†a massive open culminating with an unforgettable multi-hour clash on-stage in the Finals. This year, 50 competitors will square off in Fortnite solos while fan-favorite casters “BalletWâ€, “MonsterDfaceâ€, and “Fickle_Platypus†call the action from the desk and on-stream. For the first time in PAX Arena history, U.S.-resident competitors as young as 13 can hop into the action for the Almost Pro qualifiers on Friday, January 17 at 11 a.m CST.
Back for its one-year anniversary, Stream Stars will pit YouTube and Mixer creators against each other for a winner-takes-all showdown in Brawlhalla, the arcade fighting sensation. Fan-favorite streamers like AbdallahSmash026, Dr. Kendo, and QueenEliminator will pick their favorite Legends and go head-to-head in a single-elimination tourney on Friday, Jan. 17 to crown the new Stream Stars champion.
“One of our goals with PAX is to turn the things you enjoy online into places you can actually go, and PAX Arena is a great example of that,†said Jerry Holkins, co-founder of PAX and Penny Arcade. “Being into esports means being a fan of camaraderie and competition, which makes them a perfect fit for the PAX community.â€
