The Halloween edition of the Gamers assembly, organized by the FuturoLan association, launched on Saturday November 9, 2024 and continues this Sunday, November 10 until 5 p.m., at La Hune in Saint-Benoît.
For this major video game event, nearly 320 gamers from the four corners of France are present, headsets on their heads, eyes glued to their screens. In the room bathed in semi-darkness, clamors and cries of joy arise from time to time. We welcome the fatal blow, we also relax, as the tension is so intense during the games.
We are mainly there to have a good time and experience a shared adventure. But why not, in the end, glean part of the 4,000 euros from cash prize (1) put into play. “This edition is a great success with 70 more players than in 2023. With 320 gamers, we are reaching the maximum capacity of the room,” specifies Marion Strobel, general delegate of the organizing association.

Here, everything is well set up. It’s really very professional. » In Toulouse, the two gamers are members of a video game association which raises funds to support animal causes. “We broadcast our arena games live. Depending on our results, the people who support us make donations which we donate to various associations. »
