TOYOTA AND THE ACGL BRING YOUTH TOGETHER FOR AFRICAN GAMING CHAMPIONSHIP
Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) ignites a new era of esports with an electrifying partnership as the Crown Sponsor of the African Gaming Championship, in collaboration with the African Championships Gaming League (ACGL). Set against the backdrop of the University of Cape Town’s Sports Centre, this invite-only tournament promises thrilling competition among high school and university students from Friday, 26 July to Sunday, 28 July.
At its core, these events aim to cultivate the burgeoning culture of African esports while establishing a robust foundation for esports education. Toyota's foray into esports reflects its evolution into a mobility-focused company. This strategic alignment underscores the progressive ethos of today's sporting landscape. Participants will engage in competitive fervour across popular titles such as Fortnite, Rocket League, EA FC, and Clash Royale. Of particular note, the Fortnite tournament stands as South Africa's premier LAN competition for the game, offering gamers an unparalleled platform to showcase their skills and passion.
“Toyota SA recognises that the world is changing, and esports is part of that change. It's about being where the future consumer is going to be and being part of the conversation around new platforms and new ways of engaging with people. Through gaming, we are actively nurturing the dynamic culture of consumer interaction and playing a role in impacting young lives and shaping the future of gaming across Africa,” says Glenn Crompton, Vice President of Marketing at TSAM.
The Toyota Gaming Engine (TTGE) will enhance the experience further by offering sim rigs. Enthusiasts of speed can immerse themselves in GT 7, taking the wheel of their beloved Toyota to compete for exciting prizes!
