Organisers for the 2022 African Esports Championships (AEC), Gamers Côte d’Ivoire (CI), have revealed that Nigerian shoutcaster Priest will be one of the casters at the event.
Priest is set to cast the PUBG Mobile and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang events for the upcoming competition, which is set to kick off from October 28–29 in the southern Atlantic coastal city of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.
The 2022 African Esports Championships (AEC) are set to serve as Africa’s Regional Qualifiers for the 14th International Esports Federation (IESF) World Esports Championships, which is set to be held in Bali, Indonesia from December 1–12.
The competition will see gamers from 12 African nations, including host Côte d’Ivoire, Algeria, Ghana, Namibia, Somalia, South Africa, Djibouti, Burkina Faso, Libya, Nigeria, Senegal, and Morocco, look set to battle it out in the competition’s five (5) titles: PUBG Mobile (PUBGM), Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Tekken 7, Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) for a chance to represent the continent at the global event.
The 14th edition of the World Esports Championship will see the finest gamers the world has to offer troop into Bali and lock horns with one another in the global events’ six (6) titles—which includes eFootball, which is not a part of the African Regional Qualifiers—to not only prove they are the best but to also secure the bigger slice of the competition’s total prize pool of $500,000.
