Esports Combine - Player Competitions
During the week prior to the Virtual Combine event, players will be invited to compete in intense team-based series of competitions to record gameplay for future scouts to review. Players of ALL skill levels will be categorized and sorted for the recruiters and coaches. Whether you are a Grandmaster or a Bronze, there are programs that will fit your gamer and scholastic goals.
Virtual Panels and Workshops
Furthering our commitment to education, a 3-Day schedule will be packed full of virtual panels and workshops. This will allow for players and industry professionals to learn from some of the industry’s leading voices and interact with them. All sessions will be recorded and made available on demand.
Maximized Recruitment Tips and Tricks
We’re pulling out all the stops to make sure players have the best chance to get recruited and discovered through this process. To help us educate and inform our players, our Recruitment Partners at Next College Student Athlete will provide educational workshops helping players and their parents understand the recruitment pipeline so they can maximize their opportunity.
Combine Showcase Powered by Super League Gaming
Each night, we’re capping off the event with a special Combine Showcase where we pit some of the nation’s top recruits together going head to headin competition.
Eager coaches will join the broadcast to look on and provide commentary for what they look for in players. Powered by our official broadcast partner, Super League Gaming, this unique stream format will give aspiring gamers an understanding of what coaches look for while watching prospective players and recruits!
Scouting and Academic Reports
All players will submit detailed player surveys which will include both academic information as well as their gaming skill performance. Academic information will include past GPA, study major preferences, and high school information. Their gaming profile will include links to any statistical data available as well as videos of their direct gameplay performance. The combination of the two provides the most comprehensive total view for a student recruit available anywhere!
GAME TITLES
There are hundreds of gaming titles, but only a few are designated in collegiate esports programs. The core titles currently supported by Universities and Colleges are all supported by The Esports Combine. Players are welcome to provide scouting profiles for any and all titles they play and remember – schools are looking for ALL skill levels as they grow their programs!
