Mr.D0ne’s Game On is an E-Football initiative that arrives in the format of an E-Sports Competition with a compelling twist that is held in three different locations across Kuwait in September and October 2019. E-Sports enthusiasts will now be able to cheer and gear up for a challenging game like no other within the region!
It all began with Abdulaziz Alshehri, who also goes by the alias Mr.D0ne. A bonafide Red Bull E-Sports athlete, Mr. D0ne is the first-ever player from the Middle East to win the FIFA eWorld Cup.
The Saudi Arabian player won what was then the FIFA Interactive World Cup Grand Final in Munich, Germany back in 2015. Since then, he became a well-recognized icon in the E-Sports world, acquiring the privilege to be in the company of lifelong legends in the football world, including famous footballers like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Lionel Messi.
Renowned for his smooth moves and magnetic skills, Mr.D0ne’s now focusing on developing the profile of E-Football in the Middle East for amateur gaming enthusiasts in the region, starting with MrD0ne’s Game On in K-town.
The event, which aims to kick start the regional initiative will take place on September 26 and will feature four qualifiers in two different locations in Kuwait. Starting on the 26th of September, the tournament will feature four qualifier rounds at two different locations in Kuwait. Held as two separate events, each qualifier round will showcase teams of two to participate in a whopping 16 rounds. From there, the winning teams will continue on to the final rounds taking place on October 17 at 360 MALL.
For the game, the rules are fairly simple, yet full of intensity and suspense. There are four players per game, every two players with one controller per team. The game begins regularly with two players, however, the gist is that each team member must tag and switch with their mate within the game when one or the other team gets scored on, when a red card is given, and finally at half time.
Each team is also granted one free switch when the ball is not in play. Teams who end up in a tie would play the Golden Goal round where it will lead to a penalty shootout switching players per shoot. Sounds intense? Just wait till you’re in the game and the challenge is on!
Mr.D0ne’s Game On initiative is a great participation for any E-Football lovers out there! Now that E-Sports competitions are truly blowing up around the globe, this is the chance to take the game, and turn it into your own field!
