Acer & NVIDIA recently hosted the much anticipated Predator Ultimate Football Challenge, powered by Acer Predator 17. The event was held on October 13 and October 14th at Plug-Ins Festival City in Dubai. Day one hosted seasoned techies from the region’s most prominent blogs: Ali from Tbreak, Ahmed from Region 2 Show, Haroon from Feedbaac, and Kevin from Absolute Geeks. The gamers went head to head with each other, and with lucky fans, to play FIFA 17. Out of the bloggers, Ali from T-Break won the challenge and walked away with the Predator 8 tab.

Day two of the challenge was centered around Football fans from all around the UAE battling it out on the Predator 17. Fans could sign up for a time slot and one skilled fan ended up destroying the competition and winning a Predator 17, whereas the runner-up took home the Aspire R11. This event is one of many Gaming Events hosted by Acer, and many more events can be expected in 2017.

“We gave enthusiastic gamers the best equipped technology in the market – Acer’s Predator series powered by Geforce GTX GPU – for the ultimate gaming experience,” said Kiran Borkar, Marketing Manager at Acer Middle East and Africa. “At Acer, we have seen the passion with which gamers have taken to the industry in the region, and we are thrilled to be bringing the community together through challenging and interesting events that showcase their gaming prowess.”

“We are proud to enable the gaming community to live out their passion together at our store in Dubai, and we are happy to work together with Acer to ensure that they are offered the best devices on which they show their capabilities. The event today was a huge success,” said Sandeep Karajgi, Head of Commercial Operations, Plug Ins.

The Predator Series, named after a fierce hunter, was designed for fierce gamers – members of what Acer calls the Predator tribe. For those with a need for speed, the Predator series combines the powerful 6th generation Intel® Core™ processor with advanced cooling and stellar audio capabilities. With NVIDIA Geforce GTX 980M, the Predator Series delivers extremely fast and fluid gameplay, and provides incredible performance. Sporting red accents and a black chassis with geometric lines and soft texture coating for extra grip, the Predator notebook is ready to tackle any challenge and allows gamers to Conquer New Worlds.
