Still, it’s important that our “small” community is recognised by the mainstream media, which is why we’re very excited to see Carte Blanche taking on South African eSports.

Specifically, the segment will focus on the viability of earning a living in eSports in South Africa and the prize pools available in the country.

The program will be airing at the traditional 7 PM time-slot on on M-Net, DStv channel 101.
