Chipotle has launched the third edition of the 2020 Chipotle Challenger Series, an online tournament giving fans the chance to face-off against celebrities, athletes and musicians for a chance to win up to $30,000 and a year of free Chipotle. After a run with Call of Duty: Warzone in the first two Challenger Series, players will participate in Fortnite for the first time, according to an email to FastCasual from Chipotle

Qualifying teams will have the chance to go head-to-head in the private lobby of 33 trio teams with gaming stars: CourageJD, Myth, Bugha, Aydan, Ewok, FRESH, Nick Eh30, Mongraal, Stable Ronaldo, MrSavage, Arkhram, Rehx, Ceice, Falconer and EmadGG. Soccer phenom Christian Pulisic, hoopster Josh Hart, top hoops draft picks Cole Anthony, Obi Toppin and Tre Jones, and DJ Deacon Phillippe headline the celebrity gamers competing against amateur players in the finale.

Bugha and Pulisic, both hailing from suburban Pennsylvania, will team up in the finale to form a crossover team, which marks the first time an esports star will compete with a celebrity athlete in a Chipotle Challenger Series finale.

The competition is open to all gamers 13 years or older and will feature trios format in Fortnite. Teams may register and find terms of entry and participation by visiting: CHIPOTLECHALLENGERSERIES.COM.
