Intel Africa Masters – new South African CSGO tournament with a R450,000 prize pool

8 June 2022

Intel is launching a new Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO) tournament called the Intel Africa Masters that will begin at the end of June 2022.

Six regional competitions will take place in different African countries in the coming months, South Africa included, and the winners of each tournament will reach the main event.

This main event will be held offline at a to be determined venue in South Africa, while the group stages will be held online in the six countries.

The top four teams in the final will battle for a share of an R450,000 prize pool with each team winning a different sum.

1st: R150,000

2nd: R120,000

3rd: R100,000

4th: R80,000

The tournament, which will be hosted and broadcast on Twitch, is accessible to all players – not just professionals.

Links to the broadcast will be posted on Mettlestate’s website and their media pages on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

The Intel African Masters also has a Discord channel you can find here.

Intel has made it clear that the primary goal of these tournaments is to promote relations between African gamers to raise their skill level until they can start competing on an international level.
