After the success of our Gladiator LAN earlier in the year, we are running a team based capture-the-flag event called “The Gauntlet” in Term 3!
Games are recorded for results verification purposes and our students are casting matches. Videos will be uploaded to our YouTube channel. Catch up on VODs of our cast games below:
The participants are very talented and have been honing their skills in the Computer Lab for several weeks. Highly-ranked players from the previous Gladiator LAN are also competing, so the level of competition is high! We’re looking forward to a fun and action-packed Gauntlet event.
A long-time partner of our eSports tournaments, the DealMagic webstore has supplied gaming keyboards and gaming mouse combos to the top contenders of the competition. DealMagic will be at stall B04 at the upcoming Comic Con Africa event on 21 September 2019.
Winners will receive 4-day passes to the Comic Con Africa event taking place from 21-24 September 2019, which is super exciting! Click here for Comic Con Africa bookings.
Another long-time supporter of Brandcliff House, the Nexus Hub has once more sponsored prizes for the highest-ranked players in the Gauntlet 2019.
