After months of regional competition, packed gaming areas and players battling their way through qualifiers in malls across South Africa, the Hyprop MTN SHIFT Gaming Experience is heading for its biggest stage yet.

After months of regional competition across South Africa, the Hyprop MTN SHIFT Gaming Experience will conclude at Canal Walk Shopping Centre with the country’s top qualifiers competing for a share of the R350,000 prize pool.

The five-day finale will bring together the country’s top qualifiers, who will compete for national titles and a share of the campaign’s R350,000 prize pool.

The finals follow a nationwide competition hosted across eight Hyprop shopping centres, where gamers competed in EA FC 26™ and Beat Saber through online qualifiers and in-centre events.

Regional events were held at centres including Woodlands Boulevard, The Glen, Table Bay Mall, Clearwater Mall and CapeGate Shopping Centre, with competitors battling for their places in the national finals.
