A teaser of the event reads:

“When you think of a ‘gamer,’ what image comes to mind? An unshaven man-child wearing a hoodie with a headset permanently attached to his head and drinking energy drinks to stay up all weekend while taking on fellow gamers around the world?

Gamers don’t always look the way you expect! Did you know that the percentage of gamers aged 55-64 grew by 32% in two years? More and more people are turning to gaming as a way to escape, relax, and socialise. They’re investing in serious computer hardware and consoles and they’re also a lucrative target audience for marketers and brands.”

These types of events do not really happen often in South Africa, so if you are in Cape Town, this could be a fantastic way to spend two hours of your Thursday!
