Gamers from seven different countries will descend on Athens, Greece from 7 – 8 September to compete for over 30,000 Euros worth of prizes in the eSports WRC World Final presented by AGON by AOC.
The world’s eight best drivers were whittled down from more than 15,000 following a 13-round regular season which concluded in August when 2020 world champion Sami-Joe Abi-Nakhle was crowned regular season MVP, earning himself an AGON by AOC screen valued at more than 1,000 Euros.
The Lebanese teenage sensation will be hot favourite in the televised world final this Thursday (8 September), where he is expected to receive intense competition from three-time world champion Lohan ‘Nexl’ Blanc.
