There’s no shortage of local esports action and we are excited to report that South African CS:GO fans have even more to look forward to. Enter the Legion Africa Cup by Power League Gaming and Lenovo, a massive tournament for CS:GO esports squads from Africa.

Legion Africa Cup details

The Legion Africa Cup is a tournament “showcasing the region best CS:GO teams” and includes South Africa, as well as Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Kenya and Nigeria. Teams will participate in their regional qualifiers followed by playoffs and a grand finals.

Teams will battle over the course of two months, with “$20,000 worth of prizes to be won”. At the time of writing, prize pool distribution has not been announced. At the current Dollar to Rand exchange rate, that’s roughly R300,000 in prizes.  The competition launches on 1 November according to the announcement video.
