ICTSA announce CLASH 2025!

CLASH, ICTSA’s annual gaming convention, is back with a mix of online and in-person action! Expect thrilling tournaments, free gaming experiences, and exciting new additions. Whether you’re a competitor or a casual gamer, there’s something for everyone.

What is CLASH?

CLASH is the ICTSA’s annual gaming convention. Traditionally an online event, CLASH saw a shift to a hybrid setup last year, with online qualifiers leading up to a LAN final at the University of Malta. 

For casual gamers, the main event will feature more than just the tournament finals. There will be plenty of activities ranging from retro classics to VR, multiplayer battles, and tabletop showdowns! The best part? All of these activities are FREE!
