VS Gaming have announced that they have acquired the rights to host a FIFA eWorld Cup Qualifier in South Africa later this year.

The agreement with EA Sports will see 1,024 players competing across PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at the event planned for May 2018. On the line will be over R1,5 million in cash prizes, as well as a “chance to compete to represent South Africa at the Global Series Playoffs later this year.”

The VS Gaming Cup will be a chance for players to start their battle to the FIFA eWorld Cup 2018 schedule for August 2018. For the tournament, players will be split into eight pools of 64 players per pool per platform, with the player limit being 512 players per platform.

Online qualifiers will determine some of the contestants at the venue-based tournament in May, while additional competitors will be able to enter once ticket sales begin. Ticket details as well as “further details on the tournament and prize packages” are promised in “due course”.

VS Gaming spokesperson, Wanda Mkhize had this to say about the ‘historic agreement’: “EA SPORTS FIFA is one of the country’s top selling video games and with almost 7 million gamers around South Africa, we can safely say this is a more than an ideal partnership between VS Gaming and EA SPORTS. It most certainly escalates an already successful tournament to world status and gives local gamers the international exposure each of them dreams of.”

The prize pool for this year’s VS Gaming Cup is currently broken down as follows:
