Game On: The MTN SHIFT Gaming Experience Heads to The Glen
One of South Africa’s biggest gaming tournaments is coming to The Glen from 26 to 28 June, bringing competitive gaming, live challenges and prizes to the South of Johannesburg.
Now in its fourth year, the MTN SHIFT Gaming Experience is the country’s only gaming tournament staged at malls nationwide, making competitive gaming accessible to established players, first-time entrants and curious spectators. The eight-mall series carries a total prize pool of R350 000, with winners earning prizes and the chance to compete in the national finals.

Second and third place will win gift cards worth R1 500 and R1 000 respectively.
