Calling all gaming enthusiasts! If your activity level is more armchair than aerobic, this may just be your time to shine.

Dubai EStars is a two-week live gaming tournament that is coming to Dubai and there are huge prizes up for grabs for players over 12 of all levels.

Kicking off on Friday March 26 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, players in the first live gaming event to hit the UAE since the pandemic will get to show off their skills in their favourite games such as Fortnite, FIFA 21 and Rocket League.

The main gaming station will feature 200 consoles set up for the Fortnite competition as gamers battle on XBox and PlayStation with live commentary from our Dubai EStars casters. The top 3 player scores will remain on the leaderboard, which will be updated daily and showcased on all Dubai EStars social media platforms.

Over in the Hang Out arena, gamers will be able to enjoy dance competitions with Dubai EStars Cosplay characters and play Fifa and Rocket League.

Prizes on offer include a gold-plated PlayStation, a limited edition Nintendo Switch, Turtle Beach headsets, American Rag Cie vouchers, Xbox, PS5, hotel stays, and more.

There can only be one winner ultimately though and they will win an academy spot in Galaxy Racer (GXR), the biggest pro gaming team in Middle East.

Fingers and consoles at the ready! Game on gamer.
