Mettlestate Announces Its Partnership With Leading Technology Company, Intel
Mettlestate Announces Its Partnership With Leading Technology Company, Intel. Mettlestate, an esports and gaming organizer and production company, has partnered with Intel, a leading technology company, to revolutionize the face of competitive African esports, through the formation of Intel Africa Masters.
The Intel Africa Masters is a cross-continent CS: GO tournament. Players in four regions will compete for the title of best CS: GO team in Africa. The tournament will consist of teams grouped according to their country or region; Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, and North Africa (Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco). To help accommodate as many players as possible, Mettlestate and Intel have also collaborated with esports agencies around the continent. Gamr and BME Esports are supporting in making this incredible opportunity a reality.
“Mettlestate is honoured to be a part of this incomparable esports tournament”, Mettlestate’s managing director, Barry Louzada said in a statement. “Africa has been consistently left out of global events. We need something that exclusively showcases African talent. We have a rich pool of esports competitors, they are hungry for competitive opportunities that rival that of international tournaments. It’s time we feed that desire.”Each region will participate internally during the three qualifying rounds, which will be held online. The final rounds of each qualifier will be streamed to the Intel’s Africa Masters Twitch channel. The qualifiers will determine the top team per region. These top four teams will be flown to Johannesburg, South Africa to compete in the final event, which will be played and broadcasted live for three days.
NiteshDoolabh, Intel Country Lead South Africa said in a statement, “Intel is pleased to launch the inaugural Intel Africa Masters, a gaming tournament designed by Africans for Africans. Intel has identified the need to invest in the African gaming community to provide African gamers with a platform to showcase their talent. At Intel we know gaming, and, over the years, we’ve continued demonstrating our commitment to it by delivering CPUs and platforms that push the boundaries of performance to unprecedented levels”.
