Curro Krugersdorp is one of the leading schools when it comes to eSports and they want to invite other schools in the West Rand to join them when they host their first-ever Curro Clash LAN (local area network).
The event will be held on Friday, March 24, and Saturday, March 25, and will be held at Curro Krugersdorp High School where about 200 young gamers from schools across Gauteng will compete against each other and win some great prizes.
During these two days, gamers will compete in teams in titles like Minecraft Education Capture the Flag, Dota 2, Overwatch 2, and Rocket League. Each team will play the same number of games over the two days and their scores ranked to find the winners who will be taking home prizes, sponsored by Acer for Education.
Schools can either enter their school teams or individuals can register a team of friends. The tournament is for learners from 13 to 18 years old. Registration closes on Monday, March 13 and entry fees are R150 per station.
“Curro has held several inter-Curro eSports tournaments over the last few years. We want to share our phenomenal experience with fellow schools in the community, as only then will we be able to collectively build a unified eSports in Education offering. With the partnership between Curro eSports and Acer, we aim to bring eSports to a new level for all schools in South Africa,” said Magdeleen de Kock, Digital Transformation Facilitator: eSports project lead.
A selection of food stalls will be available on-site for gamers and their supporters, as well as other exhibitors. Interested schools are urged to sign up as soon as possible to secure a spot via the registration link. For more information, email magdeleen.d@curro.co.za or bertus.l@curro.co.za.
