Triller, the AI-powered open garden technology platform for creators, today announced it has partnered with esports and gaming platform Gamr to launch the first edition of Gamr X tournament. Gamers from 10 African countries will battle it out for the opportunity to compete in five popular games for the chance to win a prize pool of $15,000.

Gamers from Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, Senegal, Cameroon, Cote D’Ivoire, Kenya, Algeria and South Africa will be competing across five game titles in FIFA21, Call of Duty Mobile (CODM), PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBGM), Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter V. This gaming bonanza culminates in a nail-biting finale at the Eko Hotel Convention Centre in Lagos, Nigeria on 2 April 2022 and live-streamed on Triller, where five champions will be crowned across the five game titles.

The partnership with Gamr provides the infrastructure for seamless intercontinental engagements across the global gaming culture, and supports Triller’s core vision of offering a platform for people from all walks of life to create, connect, and share. It also provides a channel for online gaming creators to reach their prime mobile-first audiences in Africa.
