Doritos® and Comic Con Cape Town are excited to announce a continuation of their partnership for the upcoming festival to be held at the CTICC from 27 to 30 April 2023. The partnership comes in the form of the Doritos® Crunch Cup, a series of free-to-play tournaments that brings together two powerhouse brands to deliver a unique gaming experience for fans with up to R10 000 up for grabs every day.
Following the smashing success of the inaugural Doritos® Crunch Cup that took Comic Con Africa 2022 (in Johannesburg) by storm, Ntumi Kondile, Doritos® Brand Manager said, “We are thrilled to be hosting the Crunch Cup in Cape Town for the very first time. Doritos exists to ignite bold self expression and we’re challenging all gamers in the Mother City to bring their boldest selves to Comic Con Cape Town and compete in the Crunch Cup tournament. As part of the event, we will also have BOLD and exciting Doritos activations lined up for all attendees. This is one event is definitely not to be missed.”
Comic Con Cape Town is equally excited about the partnership. “We are thrilled to welcome Doritos® back to a Con floor. The Doritos® Crunch Cup is an exciting addition to our event and will offer attendees an opportunity to win and engage with one of the world’s most iconic snack brands,” said Carla Massmann, Show Director for Comic Con Cape Town.
Doritos® is the number 1 Coolest Snack brand in South Africa, the title remarkably held over the past decade as voted by the Sunday Times Gen Next Awards, with consumers including gamers highlighting the relevance that the brand has, through its crunchy and intensely flavoured corn chips.
Both Doritos® and Comic Con Cape Town are dedicated to delivering unique and exciting experiences to their fans. The Doritos® Crunch Cup is a testament to this shared commitment. Each day at Comic Con Cape Town fans will see a different gaming title getting the spotlight at the dedicated Doritos® Crunch Zone. The daily breakdown is as follows:
- Thursday, 27 April 2023 – Fortnite
- Friday, 28 April 2023 – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II
- Saturday, 29 April 2023 – Tekken 7
- Sunday, 30 April 2023 – FIFA23
Entry into all tournaments is free and is open to all skill levels. All tournaments will be 1v1, played on Xbox consoles, and will be single elimination.
Registration for each tournament will take place on the Con floor at the Doritos® Crunch Zone (located on Level 2) at Comic Con Cape Town from 09:00 – 11:00 each day and is on a first come first serve basis – so arrive early to avoid disappointment.
The first game for each tournament will kick off at 11:30 sharp. Spectators and fans can expect flaming hot moments throughout the tournaments.
There will also be a casual gaming zone open from 09:00 each day, as well as daily title-specific pro showdowns at the Doritos® Crunch Zone between 14:00-15:00. If fans “beat the pro” they could score an epic R1 000 cash prize and bragging rights.
For our younger gamers, should anyone between the ages of 13-17 wish to compete, a guardian or parent will need to be present at the time of registration and check-in to sign a consent form.
