Valorant Arabia

Let’s talk a little bit about Valorant Arabia. Yesterday was the Losers Bracket Final between “Team Majesty” and “Alterfox esports”. It was one hell of a match, an interesting best of three that finished in favor of “Team Majesty” with a score of 2–0! A clean sweep from them. They will now jump directly to the Grand Final against the one and only Fox Gaming to fight and get their revenge.

Today at 5:00 PM we will be seeing Fox Gaming against Team Majesty in a best of 5 for the Grand Final of the best team in North Africa at Valorant. Make sure to be there and don’t forget to support your favorite team.

Intel Arabian Cup

Well… for the IAC there is nothing much to say about this competition, I’m just gonna repeat what happened last week and tell you the reason why they didn’t play. Last week games have been pushed to this Thursday 26/11 and Friday 27/11 because the client that the players were using to play with the old patch is not working anymore, they had some technical issues with it so they decided that this tournament will be played starting this week on the new patch (Pre-Season).

Local scene

Last but not least, let’s talk about a fun tournament that most of the Moroccan influencers were participating in. A tournament by Shield Esport MA called “Moroccan All-Stars”.

It was a fun 2v2 tournament, Shield Esports did their best for this first tournament but I’m sure that they learned a lot from this experience and that next time the streaming environment will be better for the viewers as well as the players experience.

Also congrats for the winners of this tournament “Krezio” and “BubbleOne”, everyone had fun it was a good experience and a deserved victory for this beloved duo.

Special thanks to all of you, one by one for always supporting me! I really appreciate it, I can’t thank you enough for the motivation that you always give me. Make sure to follow me on Twitch and stay tuned for more interesting news!

See you.
