Comic Con Cape Town aims to promote esports in South Africa

Although esports and streaming are not “real jobs” in South Africa, the industry is multiplying. Comic Con Cape Town has taken notice of this growth and is setting new benchmarks for esports.

Comic Con Cape Town will specifically boost the esports industry. This information was shared by the company’s Africa director, Carla Massmann.

Massmann comments that esports can grow much more if they provide casual tournaments for athletes. She also confirmed that new events for professionals would be included at a much higher level.

Carla Massmann says Comic Con Cape Town is setting the bar higher for esports in South Africa by giving gamers in the region a place to showcase their skills.

Expansion of esports in South Africa

As previously mentioned, the esports sector is expanding rapidly. As the number of players grows and more tournaments are held nationwide, the South African gaming and esports sector undeniably holds promise.

Brands also see the potential in esports and are joining the game, which translates as more money helping the economy and growth.

On the other hand, Carla Massmann states that more and more companies are interested in entering the esports market daily. This confirms two things:

• Firstly, players are receiving funding from big sponsors, so the stakes for gamers are increasing.
• Secondly, the South African esports scene is growing more as a result.

On the other hand, Massmann comments that with more money at stake, many players will have more motivation to improve their skills and perform better in competitions.

Massmann said that video games are already considered a business, and South African esports are getting more and more attention and money. Sponsorships and financial backing are coming in, even though esports in that region is in its infancy. But thanks to the interest and investments, it sees an optimistic future.
