With a total number of registers exceeding +20,000 users in just 2-weeks. Gamers had the chance to compete across their preferred platform. The on-ground arena featured PlayStations 4, High-End PCs, and gaming smartphones. “Kings Arena” was active for 2-weeks in Mall of Egypt and City Centre Almaza parallelly. The concept of the tournament was as follows: Each mall featured daily qualifiers, where players competed for a seat in the Finals, for a chance to win EGP 15,000/Game handed to every winner from every game for each mall. In other words, each mall hosted its own tournament that was played in parallel with one another.
This was just the beginning, as winners from the early phases had the opportunity to compete against each other in the Grand Finals. This time, the winners from each mall competed against each other for the ultimate prize pool of EGP 30,000/Game. Arabhardware Role:
