On Saturday, October 29, Group A of GiiKs Game City‘s (GGC) highly anticipated Rep a Country E-soccer World Cup was held in the Madagastar Esports Arena inside the West Hills Mall in Accra, Ghana.
Six of the nation’s best esports teams competed in the group, including GL Legends, PlayProvince, Canvic Records, Eze Gaming Hub, Black Squad, and Xplosion Esports, for one of the group’s four slots to the event’s Quarter-Finals (QF).
Each team represented a country that will be participating in the 2022 FIFA World Cup to be held in Qatar from November 20 to December 18. Below are the teams and the countries they represented at the event:
| GROUP A | COUNTRY |
|---|---|
| Canvic Records | Brazil |
| Eze Gaming Hub | Germany |
| Xplosion Esports | Morocco |
| Black Squad | Argentina |
| GL Legends | Ghana |
| PlayProvince | Netherlands |
Black Squad would finish first on goal difference after five rounds of heated competition and action. They would be followed by PlayProvince, who had a shaky start to the competition, losing their first two games before rallying to win the remainder of their games and finish second. GL Legends, representing their home country of Ghana, finished third.
After five rounds of tough battle, the Group A table is as follows:
| # | TEAM | P | W | D | L | F | SF | SA | +/- | PTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BLACK SQUAD (Q) | 5 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 3 | 3 | 10 |
| 2 | PLAYPROVINCE (Q) | 5 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 10 |
| 3 | GL LEGENDS (Q) | 5 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 11 | 7 | 4 | 8 |
| 4 | XPLOSION ESPORTS (Q) | 5 | 1 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 4 | 1 | 7 |
| 5 | CANVIC RECORDS | 5 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 4 | 8 | -4 | 2 |
| 6 | EZE GAMING HUB | 5 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 4 | 10 | -6 | 2 |
Unfortunately for Canvic Records and the Volta Region-based Eze Gaming Hub, while putting up a valiant battle throughout the competition, they were unable to secure one of the group’s four berths to the Quater-Finals of the GGC’s Rep a Country E-soccer World Cup.
