The MTN SHIFT Gaming Experience is back for its second edition. It’s the largest national mall-based gaming tournament ever held in South Africa.
The event features a series of eight qualifier events held at Hyprop Malls across the nation over four months, culminating in an epic National Final taking place at Canal Walk in Cape Town this September, 2024.
What can gamers look forward to?
The MTN SHIFT Gaming Experience follows its immense popularity among gamers and its suitability for all ages due to the selection of EA FC 24™ as the title to be played throughout the main events.
The tournament offers a gaming experience that appeals to a wide age group, ensuring there is something for everyone – from casual players to seasoned pros with additional competitions and activations taking place at each mall event.
Join in on online and in-centre heats and prove you’ve got what it takes to make it to the National Final. Battled out on the ACGL platform, the online heat is your ticket to glory and a coveted spot in the top four to earn a place in the Mall Finals.
Players can sign up at the various Hyprop Malls to participate in one of the seven heats held from Friday to Sunday. The top four players from each heat will move on to the Mall Final, joining the four online qualifiers.
There are a select number of mall heats dedicated to scholars this year to ensure that our esport schools are represented. Be sure to check out the respective mall website for all the details.
The events at participating Hyprop Malls include a variety of competitions and engaging activities, featuring not only the main MTN SHIFT Gaming Experience efootball tournament, but also a range of smaller competitions and activations. Participants and spectators alike can enjoy a dynamic gaming environment.
