After a fantastic charity event finishing up this past weekend, and with the PUBG Mobile S6 getting under way next week, SA esports tournament organiser Mettlestate (in partnership with ASUS ROG) still has time to bring local gamers some great cups this coming weekend. There's the first Destiny 2 cup, a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate cup, and a Modern Warfare cup to sign up for.
