On the 3rd and 4th of October, eight teams will do battle across two titles in the MWEB GameZone Masters Series (MGMS) LAN Grand Finals at the MWEB offices in Parow, Cape Town. And you – as a non-competitor – are cordially invited to join the players, teams and admins to watch the spectacle happen live, right before your very eyes.
Over the weekend the top four Call of Duty teams (Xbox One) and top four Counter-Strike teams from the Masters Series qualifiers will battle for their share of R44,000 in cash up for grabs. Spectators will be able to watch all of the action from both tournaments live in the auditorium – or if you choose to stay at home, via the MWEB GameZone Twitch Channel.
Of course, if you’re at the venue, you can expect a little special treatment. There will be some food and beverages (including some beer sponsored SAB, so there will be no under 18s allowed at the event), good community interaction and swag, including a Proline XM-502 5” LTE Smartphone. So staying at home to watch doesn’t sound so grand now does it?
