Orlando Pirates out to stun FC Nantes in eSports club friendly

Orlando Pirates will take on FC Nantes in three eSports international friendly games on Wednesday.

The Buccaneers are hoping to bounce back to winning ways following a defeat to Italian Serie A side AS Roma last week Friday.

Muhammad Faiz Mahomed, who was representing Pirates, was defeated by Roma's Nathan "Zelonius" Horton in a best-of-three international friendly game.

The reigning Tshwane Gaming Nights tournament champion will now face Brunet Florian of Nantes in another best-of-three international friendly encounter.

Florian took part in last year's Spring eLigue1 (Xbox tournament) and he managed to reach the final.
