“This is the first gaming event in a large scale to take place in Kathmandu and we plan to organize bigger events for gamers based in Nepal. We want gamers to find a platform to showcase their skills to the mass and even compete with large groups of gamers,” he adds.
The winners for each category will bag a cash prize of Rs 25,000 whereas the second and third prize winners will be bagging a cash prize of Rs 15,000 and Rs 10,000 respectively.
