BYOC LAN - rAge 2026
26 Nov - 29 Nov SAST (+02:00)
Fourways Mall, Level 8, Johannesburg
Details
The OG BYOC LAN Experience
Get ready for South Africa's largest 56-hour gaming event…
Bringing hundreds of passionate gamers together for an unforgettable weekend of non-stop video gaming. A place where online teammates become lifelong friends and memories are forged. One game, one night, and one LAN at a time.
What is it? We supply all the infrastructure (power, chair, table, Internet). You bring your gaming platform.
Join a massive network with hundreds of gamers with some common goals: play games, meet new people, experience rAge, and immerse yourself in everything you love. Think of it as camping but without the frogs, wet ground, and scary bush noises at night.
Rethink BYOC
Bring Your Own Chaos (not our fault you arrived late)
Bring Your Own Cringe (Umm… that waifu wallpaper?)
Bring Your Own Cables (we all know the pain)
Bring Your Own Complaints (the ping isn’t that bad)
Bring Your Own Confidence (all it takes to win sometimes)
Rethink LAN
Legendary Access Network (okay that one was obvious)
LAG? Absolutely Normal (this almost never happens to me)
Loot And Nap (“modern gaming”)
Laugh All Night (normal for this LAN)
Loading… Almost Now (okay, out of ideas)
Or just stick with Bring Your Own Computer / Console and Local Area Network.
What’s new this year?
- Casual Cup tournaments in the LAN all weekend long.
- More prizes.
- Dedicated shower facilities.
- Full weekend-long access to the reimagined rAge festival experience.
