LISWATI IN E15M ESPORTS WORLD CUP

MBABANE – Local prodigy Kroos Lukhele is poised to compete in the prestigious Esports World Cup 2024.

This tournament commenced this past Monday, and is slated to conclude on November 19, taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.  Having secured a substantial participation fee exceeding E145 000, Lukhele is ready to represent Eswatini with immense pride. The gifted player is scheduled to depart from King Mswati III International Airport on Saturday morning, with his first match set for Sunday afternoon. Despite the brief turnaround, Lukhele remains confident in his abilities and is eager to challenge elite gamers from across the globe. With a staggering prize pool surpassing E15 million, this international event presents a golden opportunity for Lukhele to demonstrate his skills and potentially achieve a life-altering victory.

Pivotal

While he acknowledges the significance of the event, he maintains a humble outlook, viewing it as a pivotal step in his ongoing career. Lukhele expressed his enthusiasm for competing against the world’s finest, citing this as a motivating force behind his passion. He extended his heartfelt gratitude to the Eswatini Esports Association (EEA) for facilitating this opportunity and, most importantly, to God for His blessings. 

Mbuso Dlamini, head of Esports development, voiced his excitement regarding Lukhele’s participation, stating: “This is a monumental moment for Eswatini’s Esports scene.” He added: “It’s essential to recognise that Eswatini is relatively new to the international esports arena, and it requires more than mere sporting merit for a country to be eligible for these competitions. “We are grateful to the international organisations that have assisted us in overcoming technical challenges and making this opportunity possible.”
