December 24, 2022 Sports 12 Views

With more titles on display, more participants, and a slew of exciting attractions, this year’s event is anticipated to be larger than the previous edition (which took place in 2021).

Due to safety concerns that have surfaced as the nation gets closer to its 2023 General Elections, the event, which is scheduled to run until December 29, will be hosted entirely virtually for the first time.

The competition won’t be diminished by this, though, since Kon10dr takes great satisfaction in staging top-notch esports events on every platform.

The event will be hosted entirely virtually for the first time.

Journey so far

The path to being named the KEC champion began some months ago when some of Nigeria’s best and brightest esports organisations and athletes competed in the KEC Qualifiers in an effort to earn enough KEC Points to secure a Top 16 spot and advance to the main stage of the event.

PUBG Mobile, Guilty Gear -Strive-, Call of Duty: Mobile, Mortal Kombat 11, Brawl Stars, Garena Free Fire, Valorant, FIFA, and Street Fighter V were among the games the players competed in.

As they competed for a spot in the competition’s main showpiece, the various teams and athletes demonstrated their impressive skills in the Qualifiers.

Notable performances came from teams like 03 Brothers, Cyclone Gaming, Emma Have Braincells, and Velentzas Esport, as well as athletes like ChuX, SmoothRazor, and Nash Determined.

The tables for (some of) the KEC Qualifiers are listed below:
