South African tournament organizer African Cyber Gaming League (ACGL) has announced Grind, a new mega-event powered by Predator. It features three esports titles, community goals, and a total possible combined prize pool of R45,000! Let’s dive into the details.
ACGL Grind details
ACGL Grind features three esports titles, namely: Rainbow Six Siege, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Rocket League. Therefore, there are three separate leagues, and each of them comes with a base prize pool of R10,000. However, if community goals are reached, each of these leagues’ prize pools can increase by an additional R5,000.
Nick Holden, managing director of ACGL, explains: “We are excited to launch the ACGL Grind event, which brings together three titles and opens the door to more. We believe that this event provides a unique opportunity for fans to not only engage with their favourite titles but also compete for prizes and support their community through social media challenges. Partnering with Predator, we are committed to supporting the local gaming community and providing opportunities for growth and engagement.”
Registrations for Rocket League are open, with Rainbow Six Siege registrations (and some news) opening on 5 April 2023, and lastly, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 registrations opening on 12 April 2023.
There’s also a social media challenge. This will determine the top two esports titles from ACGL Grind. The top two titles will stay in ACGL Grind for another season, while the lowest title will be eliminated and replaced with the winning game from the ACGL Ember vote.
