The two-day competition saw thousands of players nationwide flock to Cape Town last month to compete in Call of Duty and Fifa tournaments.
“I am at a loss for words. Out of the four teams that were there, we knew we were the least prepared. This was largely due to the last minute roster changes. Us winning definitely felt amazing,” said Bux of the victory.
The 23-year-old said he initially started playing Call of Duty as a hobby back in 2010, but then realised its competitive nature seven years later. By playing the game, he attracted the attention of a team and was flown to Cape Town for his first tournament. Thanks to his exceptional performance, he was picked up by big e-sports team, Bravado Gaming.
“Our experience definitely helped us during this tournament because we have been in those kinds of positions multiple times compared with the others. It definitely showed in some of our matches.”
