@GandTea11 @Micks_Sticks @ENC_EN Holyyy!!!

The road to Riyadh has a lead 🇿🇦 Huge update for South Africa: @Micks_Sticks has officially been named National Team Manager for the @ENC_EN All the info we know right now 👇🏽

@Esports_WatchZA @RedBullZA @NixuhCorp @SuperSportTV @AfricanGaming Nah no problem, just thought it would be a news source on the goings on in the ZA scene and not a commentary on your opinion on certain matters.

@coder578 @RedBullZA @NixuhCorp @SuperSportTV @AfricanGaming

"ZA ESPORTS IS DEAD" is far from the whole storyline We are in March @RedBullZA LockedIn @NixuhCorp 50K Cash Cup RLCS SSA on @SuperSportTV Be it TO's like @AfricanGaming Or orgs like @NixuhCorp there is so much more going on, but we as a community have ourselves dead set on the negativity. Drop what YOU are doing for the space besides tweeting "DEAD" into the void. #EWZA

@zaneyFPS @AfricanGaming @Esports_WatchZA @omnius_gaming @FE4R_Esports @NixuhCorp @NCTESPORTS @CSOesport @ESportsANews @Mettlestate @VSGamingWorld Basically there's no effort to develop fresh talent in the scene. I'm hoping to fill that gap soon 🤝

I’ll say this **Respectfully** Esports in a whole is starting to look like it’s turning into a puddle full of, well take this lightly with a pinch of salt, but everything. I know that doesn’t make allot of sense but hear me out!! I have respect to TO’s such as @AfricanGaming @Mettlestate @crimsonclashza for having the courage to host tournaments on a somewhat consistent level (yes I’m referring to Valorant and some other surrounding titles) But I also have a larger respect to organizations such as @FECoDZa (which I personally attended and had a blast) as well as major respect to @NixuhCorp and @NCTESPORTS who out of their own take initiative to host events. (Yes you too @FE4R_Esports and @SynthesisENMT ) But this isn’t just about gratitude…simply what bothers me and I think I can speak for some, but do correct me if I’m wrong cause I’m sure I’ve seen @crimsonclashza do this more often. We need to have events/tournaments where teams of a lower caliber/skill level can feel welcome to enter and participate without feeling like the odds are 10 to 100 against them. Yes I understand that most leagues and tournaments out there accommodate to both skill gaps, but in the last few weeks sitting alongside @EvolutionRSA and it’s valorant teams, watching scrims, even participating, I can’t help but wonder, will the scene be able to accommodate to lower skilled players more? As someone with close to a couple of years in competitive experience ( I ain’t gonna leak how long cause I know Komi is gonna say I’m old again) I remember my days playing CS on a competitive level, where I got absolutely slammed by people in a skill level higher than mine and losing passion to want to play competitive, (IM NOT REFERRING TO RANKED - I’m purely referring to actual dgl leagues) My point is, yes, it’s easy to say that these players need to improve and accept what they’re getting into, that’s general rule in the competitive scene, but again, scenes like Valorant and CS lose out on so much opportunity because of this, now I know allot of people are going to say move on, but I want people to know this, to grow a scene we have to adapt. Again I’m proud of where the Valorant scene has gotten to before. But we’re approaching April now and I’m confident that there is somehow and someway organizers will see this and grab the opportunity. Yes, although the scene has set its mark on who your top teams are, there are other teams out there who also deserve the recognition and spotlight in good ways. Now this comes with enabling this to grow the scene on a larger scale and to have larger sponsors for events, even on a digital landscape where most tournaments have been taking place lately. Just know this is a personal opinion based on personal views, insight and investigation. So if the release of ValZAFaceit has to be brought back to life again with personal funding and not the funding or hopes of funding from a Brand, then so be it, you, yes you, will have the say and impact of this. Everyone has an opinion and I support those opinions, let this be a platform where everyone can feel free to share. Thank you💙

@Demonix77x I am!!

Anyone actually going to CC Cape Town in April?

TIP2TIP IS FINALLY HERE‼️Michael and I will be riding our bikes 3,000 miles across China from the south to the north ❌NO MAPS ❌NO ENGLISH ❌NO HIGHWAYS Daily episodes will start March 20! Subscribe so you dont miss it🙇‍♂️ 我是一个胖的美国白人

@Demonix77x always been amethyst out here 🫡

Remember when players had one IGN and you always knew who it was? Hard to build recognition in a scene when your name changes every other week 🫠

@saysay1x @AfricanGaming We're so goated

One More 2-0 away from first in our @AfricanGaming SZN 3 group I think :0 #Omnius #ValZA

@Demonix77x W

well at least this can work now xD

@Demonix77x @zahraatheneko Honestly same, but they were all sick in their own way

It was between this and #2 for me, but happy this is the 2026 look 👊🏻

100 Users on the ZA Hub! 🥳 Current player registrations: 33 Valorant 10 Counter-Strike 8 Marvel Rivals 4 Overwatch 3 Tekken 2 Deadlock 👀 39% of users still haven’t selected a title yet. I've also had a few requests to bring Apex back into the mix - will see how that develops. On the backend side, I've sorted out a solution for "pick-up" teams. If they end up becoming a proper long-term roster, they can be promoted later on. The Hub already supports backfilling results as well, which helps a lot since people are joining slowly and teams are getting verified while tournaments are already in progress. Slowly but surely building something solid 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻

@Brizzta you take it off during scrims and officials anyways

If you don't vote, I'll have no shirt to wear

@VESAEvents oh damn

@VESAEvents what's being bought?

@Demonix77x its okay, calm down. we still love you

Seeing mapbangg still used on streams when the val hub has a specific streamer view built for map bans thats been there for years🥹

@SvG3PanDa honestly, the dream was alive for so long. the saddest part is that a lot of them are saying that it's their last season.

I'm not crying because it's over I'm crying because it happened🥹

Incase you missed it - @saysay1x dropped a new montage! #ValZA

New horizons, joined @omnius_gaming for the #ValZa 26 season 🫡💚
