3 Israelis compete in video game tournament in Saudi Arabia, 2 of them win

Three Israelis competed in the Gamers8 video game tournament in Saudi Arabia.

Shahar Shoshan and Lotan Giladi’s team took home the top prize after their team defeated a team on which the third Israeli, Guy Iloz, was placed.

The trio stayed in Riyadh for eight days for the tournament after having entered Saudi Arabia on Israeli passports and receiving visas from local authorities.

They were given a round-the-clock security detail and were told to keep a low profile while in the country, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
