ACGL Rivals announced with R20,000 in prizes up for grabs
African Cyber Gaming League (ACGL) has announced ACGL Rivals powered by Ergotherapy. The event is not strictly esports, but given the concept, prize and focus on local streamers, we felt it deserved coverage.
ACGL Rivals pits 100 streamers against each other in Fall Guys. The last streamer standing after two weeks will secure R10,000 cash and an Ergo-G Gaming Chair.
All local streamers can apply for the event, with the final 100 being confirmed and contacted on 19 October. There are some requirements listed in the document that streamers should be aware of.
The action itself takes place on 22 and 29 October. 100 Streamers will be whittled down to 50 streamers by week two. The winner will be determined by winning the week two elimination run.
