Bring Back Sports success and Edition II tease
Bring Back Sports was great fun, bringing gamers, musicians, pro players, casters, and everyone else together to participate in some esports, all in the name of charity. The first edition took place over two weekends in April, and now, we have the results, as well as a little tease to share.
Bring Back Sports results
Bring Back Sports was a great success, raising over R5,000 for charity to support those financially impacted by COVID-19. It also gave us some great FIFA and PUBG matches to watch.
Glenn Kisela, creator of Bring Back Sports, said that:
“I would have loved to raise more funds during this time, but it’s understandable given how hard everyone has been hit. What people could give was hugely appreciated. Overall I’m really happy with how Edition I went & I cannot wait to reveal the next Edition once we’re ready to do so. We’ve learnt so much & we’ll be using that knowledge to improve & grow BB Sports into a world class event that does the local scene justice.”
Some interesting stats from Bring Back Sports:
- Raised over R5000 so far
- Over 3000 viewers on the YouTube livestream over 2 days
- Peaked at over 1800 concurrent viewers on the YouTube livestream
- We trended at number 4 nationally on Twitter
There’s some post-event content as well for you to dig into, including an interview with Karen Zoid and Tecla from Texx and the City.
For those who want more, we’ve got some exciting news to share. Bring Back Sports will be back with Edition II, and there’s a tease at the end of the Thank You video, which you can view at the bottom of this article.
