Toyota Gaming Engine [TTGE] continues its mission of providing an inclusive and immersive gaming experience for all South African gamers. Together with the African Cyber Gaming League [ACGL] and Kasi Gamerz, TTGE had an exciting lineup of events planned for February 2023. Although the first event of the month in Mfuleni was affected by loadshedding, the remaining events in Stellenbosch and Strand delivered an electrifying FIFA 23 tournament experience to all attendees.

 

 

The future Stellenbosch University Esports venue at The Neelsie played host to around 64 players on 18 February. Of these players, 16 represented the Kasi Gamerz qualifiers, while the rest were from the university itself, surrounding schools, or playing as independent participants. The tournament featured a double-elimination bracket, giving players an opportunity to rebound after their first loss. This proved to be a valuable opportunity for the eventual champion, Michael, who went on a thrilling and epic run to claim the title.

 

In a thrilling grand final, Michael, representing Varsity College, faced fellow Varsity College student Kirupel, who had gone undefeated up until then. The match was closely contested, with Michael taking the victory 2-0 to force a 'bracket reset'. The rematch proved to be an even tougher challenge, with Michael eventually claiming a hard-fought 2-1 win in extra time. Michael's incredible performance saw him close out the day with an impressive 11-win streak and 12 out of 13 matches won. The top four from the tournament were rounded out by Maino in third place (representing Kasi Gamerz) and Stellenbosch University player Aleem in fourth.

 

 

Meanwhile, Kasi Gamerz hosted two school FIFA 23 events in Christmas Tinto and Solomon Qatyana, respectively. The top eight players from each school will be competing against each other in the coming weeks, with the top players securing prizes and spots in upcoming tournaments as part of TTGE's ongoing schedule of community tournaments.
