This past weekend, the ‘new-look’ Orena kicked off their 2016 series of tournaments with an invitational Counter-Strike LAN event featuring Bravado Gaming, Energy eSports, Carbon eSports and Aperture Gaming. In case you have no clue why I refer to the organisation as ‘new-look’, they have seen personnel changes and a buy-in from Travis Coppin of the Coppin family (yes, they’re the family…
**UPDATE** It has been announced that the CS: GO portion of the Crucial Cup has been cancelled due to a “numbers game”. The full announcement is as follows: Good morning everyone. It has been a hectic week of negotiation and administration. We have decided to drop CS:GO from the Crucial Cup roster purely because there are too many other events…

Fifa 14 Ultimate Team: World Cup will be a separate mode within Fifa Ultimate Team and lets players build their ultimate squad of players from all 32 National Teams attending this coming WC.

In Short 2014 Fifa Brazil World Cup is the best technical offering the series has seen on Xbox 360 and PS3. It is also the prettiest and the “most game” in the series on the previous consoles. I do however suspect it should be a short-lived affair, and if you play Fifa 14 on PS4 or Xbox One, it is…
Orena – a recently formed SA tournament organisation – has announced their first Xbox 360 tournament. Unsurprisingly it is for Black Ops 2, but it does pack a decent prize pool. Registrations are now open until 8 July, and teams can register here. The cost is R50 per player with two substitutes being allowed for free. While they don’t actually…
If you thought those ladders that MWEB operate only focus on that first person shooter series, you’re wrong, and will be proved wrong again in the future… MWEB, Mad Catz and 2upGamers (or 2up for this tournament) are bringing both PS3 and Xbox 360 FIFA 13 players an opportunity to challenge and play their opponents both online and offline. Yes,…
The pretty spectacular run of the team of South Africans in the World Nation’s Cup has sadly come to an end. The team – which only got itself together and registered around 24 hours before the deadline for entries – had a run in the group stages marked with highs (a win against the reigning champs France) and lows (a loss…
We’re football crazy, we’re football mad. Well, we would be if we were still any good at actually playing it. Thankfully, while our days of running around in the rain are well behind us, we can enjoy the infinitely less strenuous effort of playing virtual football in EA’s FIFA. There are a number of FIFA related tournaments happening regularly around…
The team of South Africans currently playing in the PS3 World Nation’s Tournament were narrowly beaten by the Swiss team this past Sunday, which made progressing to the knockouts a very tough affair. That has however just been made easier, as the tournament administrators have handed the South Africans the win due to “presented evidence” of the Swiss team cheating.…
We are always excited by the initiative taken by the South African gaming community to make things happen, rather than to sit around waiting for the “powers-that-be” to instigate things. On the other hand, we are always disappointed when the self same community fails to support such ventures. We urge you to get involved, so do so. As soon as you’ve…
