In The Game!
Emperors
Palace
When
you picture competitive sports, what do you see? Men and women
running around a pristine green field, chasing glory for their team?
Or a full stadium of screaming fans, showing their support for the
best shooters, strategists, and gamers on the planet?
With
fans being spoilt for choice, eSports is rapidly becoming the
favoured millennial sport worldwide. With tickets to watch live games
selling out seats in stadiums faster than other competitive sports,
online streams of tournaments gaining hundreds of millions of viewers
(some say that viewership of eSports will match viewership of the
FIFA World Cup in the near future) and game developers awarding
massive cash prizes to the winners, it is easy to see why.
While
these developments might come as no surprise to those in Asia,
America and Europe, where does this leave Africa?
Eventus
International has identified considerable interest in this emerging
international phenomenon, and therefore will be hosting the eSports
Africa Summit at Emperors Palace from 13-14 August 2018.
As
lightning fast fibre rolls out across the continent, standards of
living improve and infrastructure becomes more advanced on the
continent, Africa will soon take its place amongst the great gaming
nations of the world. Eventus International is there to connect local
and international industry professionals – the world’s youngest
continent demographically also has biggest potential group of
supporters and players in the world.
