EGE has always had a large competitive gaming influence, but this year sparked something spectacular as esports stole the show.

VS Gaming will host their Dota 2 Masters Championship at EGE this year, a much needed separation from CS:GO.

Situated in a cosy wing of the Cape Town International Convention Center, FanCon played host to the likes of Top Cow big cheese Tom Hawkins, legendary comic book writer Ron Marz, John “Chew” Layman and Eric “Hillbilly” Powell. It built on a tremendous first outing that kicked off in 2016, growing even larger in 2017. FanCon grows even bigger this year, as the dates for the 2018 show have been announced: April 28-29.
