“The culture of Bravado Gaming is that of being the best version of yourself. We want to tell inspiring stories to gamers across the globe and we have lived by that tenet from day one, more than 15 years ago and it has brought us incredible success over the years, not only in competing in esports, but also in developing minds and introducing people to a whole new world and way of thinking in the gaming and gamification eco-system. With the support of Alienware, Intel and Dell Gaming we will be taking this call-to-action beyond the borders of just South Africa, by officially expanding Bravado into selected countries within this region,” said Andreas Hadjipaschali, CEO and co-founder, Bravado Gaming.


As part of its global expansion exercise, Bravado Gaming has also revamped its overall gaming experience by acquiring state-of-the-art technology and amenities for its regional operations and activities.

Boosting Content Creators, Ambassadors

This is in line with its objective to inspire enthusiasts, social and competitive gamers across the globe. Despite the prevailing changes over the last few years, Bravado Gaming is expected to continue developing this ecosystem as part of its long-term efforts to strengthen its gaming divisions.
