Acer Nitro ASL: ACGL and Acer partner up as titles get prize pool boosts

In February, we reported how the South African tournament organizer African Cyber Gaming League (ACGL), expanded their ACGL Schools League (ASL) with more esports titles, and now, we are excited to share that ACGL and ACER have partnered up for the Acer Nitro ASL, giving the prize pool titles a huge boost. Here’s what you need to know.

Acer Nitro ASL details

Supported by Acer for Education, the Acer Nitro ASL targets high school students, with over 60 schools already signed up to the events, representing over 600 school students. You can check out the dedicated page for the Acer Nitro ASL on ACGL’s website.

ACGL Director, Clint O’Shea, explains:

“High School esports has always been a massive part of ACGL’s history, where we’ve always attempted to provide opportunities to schools within our capacity. The support from Acer Nitro allows us the opportunity to offer schools more opportunities, structure and the capacity for ACGL to do more in the space. Acer Nitro’s response to the call to support this blooming sector within our gaming community is held in such high regard by us and the team. We couldn’t be more proud to work alongside such a future-focused company that really understands and sees the value of esports locally.”
