The overall winner from the 60 participants in the ongoing Wildcard tournament will represent the country in the forthcoming African Esports Championships (AEC) in August in Nairobi. The tournament runs for another three weeks with 16 players and six casters currently in the mix. The grand finals expected to take place in Kenya will see over 52 E-sports players from 24 countries battling it out for the top prizes in Fifa and Tekken. The Wildcard tournament runs side by side with the AEC and will last three more weeks, with the winner getting a chance to represent Kenya at the AEC Grand finals. The mission of E-sports Industry is to grow the event in Kenya and Africa as a whole, as well as provide professional players with a chance to showcase their talent and socially, psychologically and financially empower themselves.
