Registrations have opened for the Mexcom Electronic Sports World Cup Qualifier scheduled to take place in April at the Carousel Casino north of Pretoria.
Hosted by Internet service provider Mexcom SA and gaming company Arena 77, the event will see the winners of the five-man team Counter-Strike and single player WarCraft III competitions secure a trip to France in July to participate in the Electronic Sports World Cup Grand Final.
Over 40 countries compete in the yearly Grand Final, which has prize money of $150 000 up for grabs.
The qualifying tournament will also feature an open local area network (LAN) for gamers looking to play in a less competitive environment.
Vivendi Universal and MegaRom will exhibit their latest titles at the event and have news on several upcoming releases.
The qualifier will run from 23 to 25 April, with entries costing R120 per person per competition and R100 per person for the open LAN. Entry forms are available on the Arena 77 Web site.
