ASUS to thrill guests at ESWC South African Qualifiers

Johannesburg, South Africa – This year Cape Town will host the second EGE (Electronic and Gaming Expo) at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from 29 to 31 July.  

“With the growth of the Gaming and Tech community in the Western Cape we expect EGE to be the biggest gaming expo Cape Town has seen this year. To add to the already booming hype around E-Sports in South Africa, ASUS, EGE and Orena will be hosting the qualifying round of the E-Sports World Convention 2016 CS:GO Tournament” said Reuben Naude, Marketing Specialist and OPBG for Sub-Saharan Africa at ASUS.  

ASUS has also sponsored 10 robustly impressive machines as well as 10, 144hz 24” monitors that will be used by players during the final stages of the CS:GO Tournament at EGE which will take place on Sunday from 10:00.
