Africa-Press – Namibia. With a third of the year already over, Namibia is preparing for what is most likely the biggest Esports season in the country yet.
The Namibian Electronic Sports Association (Nesa) has lined up national qualifiers for six game titles, all selected by the International Esports Federation (IESF) for the 2022 World Esports Championship (WE Championship).
This year, for the first time ever, mobile games are involved, which makes the gaming scene more sensational than ever before.
Once again powered by Logitech, Nesa begins the search for the next Namibian Esports team, to compete in the African Regional Games for a chance to wear the national colours in Bali, Indonesia, at the WE Championships in November and December.
The selected PC titles are Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) and DotA2, both which are played in teams of five. For console, specifically PlayStation, the titles are Tekken 7 and eFootball 2022, which are played solo by athletes.
The mobile titles are Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), played in teams of five, and PUBG Mobile, played in teams of four.
