The tournament, which MyGaming previously\u00a0reported on<\/b><\/a>, will include regional open and closed qualifiers, which will take place across four regions \u2014 including Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, and North Africa (Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco).<\/p>\n Each region will participate internally during the three qualifying rounds, which will be held online, and the final rounds of each qualifier will be streamed to Intel\u2019s Africa Masters Twitch channel.<\/p>\n The qualifiers will determine the top team per region and the top four teams will be flown to Johannesburg to compete in the final event, which will be played and broadcasted live for three days.<\/p>\n Mettlestate has now confirmed that the competition’s schedule is as follows:<\/p>\n The teams competing in the Grand Finals will battle for a share of a R450,000 prize pool that will be split as follows:<\/p>\n 1st<\/strong>: R150,000<\/p>\n 2nd<\/strong>: R120,000<\/p>\n 3rd<\/strong>: R100,000<\/p>\n 4th<\/strong>: R80,000<\/p>\n \u201cAfrica has consistently been left out of global events. We need something that exclusively showcases African talent. We have a rich pool of esports competitors who are hungry for competitive opportunities that rival that of international tournaments. It\u2019s time we feed that desire,\u201d said Mettlestate managing director Barry Louzada.<\/p>\n Mettlestate will post a registration link across its social media platforms and website<\/a> <\/strong>on 17 June.<\/p>\n In the meantime, you can join the Intel African Masters Discord here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n South African gamers will get the chance to compete in the biggest CS:GO tournament in Africa \u2014 here are the dates and specifics you need to know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":251,"featured_media":125461,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,3],"tags":[6385,2664,2821,1727,26291,24091],"class_list":["post-125460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-pc","tag-csgo","tag-gaming","tag-gaming-tournaments","tag-intel","tag-intel-africa-masters","tag-mettlestate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/251"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
