Pietermaritzburg, 23 September 2022: As Summer heads our way, Liberty Midlands Mall is announcing another “first” for the mall. The very first Gaming Festival powered by Game4U, and hosted by African Cyber Gaming League, will be taking place at the mall from Thursday 6th to Saturday 8th October 2022, from 10:00 AM – 19:00 PM each day, answering the call of the many gaming enthusiasts in the province.
Attendees will be able to compete in various mini-tournaments all weekend, with prizes awarded for players at the top of the leader board, as well in random draws. For starters, a Keyboard Rebuild Race, sponsored by Redragon will be on the go all weekend. The daily “fastest time” winners will each walk away with a Redragon keyboard, with an additional keyboard being given away in a lucky draw at the end of the weekend.
A PlayStation 4 FIFA 22 tournament will be hosted on Saturday 8 October from 10:00 AM, with a gaming chair, copies of FIFA 23 and gift cards to be won. Entry is limited to 64 participants and registration will be done on a first-come-first-served basis on the day. Entrants need to check-in at the venue from 9:00 AM.
Smartphone company POCO will be sponsoring various mobile events on offer throughout the festival. Secure the weekend’s highest kills in a round of battle royale at the event, or the highest score for a run in Subway Surfers and you could walk away with a brand new POCO phone. A random draw from all participants will see another two POCO phones being given away.
Numerous other gaming events will provide opportunities to win over the weekend, including Rocket League and Multiversus longest winning streaks.
