The Esports Combine, the world’s premier collegiate recruiting event for eSports athletes, returns this October 15 through 17. Harena Data in partnership with Indiana Sports Corp., is producing the second annual eSports athletes showcase where top recruiting candidates demonstrate their skills in front of the nation’s top recruiters and earn incredible college scholarships for eSports. The eSports Combine is completely virtual and will be live streamed by Super League Gaming.
This year’s eSports Combine expects 10,000 gamers and 200 colleges and universities to participate. Hundreds of the largest eSports scholarships are up for grabs and gamers will be able to tap into the country’s best scholarship opportunities. To date, more than 500 student athletes playing on Harena’s GYO Score platform have received college scholarships, more than all other organizations combined.
Additionally, the Combine will include educational roundtables, leading industry professionals speaking on panels, and partnerships with the country’s biggest universities to get players recruited.
Last year’s Combine peaked at 6,000 participants and 100 colleges and universities.
“The eSports Combine is the number one place for athletes to get recruited. We onboarded more incredible partners to accelerate the event and help even more players get noticed by teams, colleges, coaches, and scouts,” said Bill Dever, Chief Strategy Officer at Harena Data. “We learned a tremendous deal from last year’s combine and believe this year’s event will shatter expectations in every way.”
“Indiana Sports Corp is looking forward to creating continued positive impact for the global esports industry in the second year of The eSports Combine,” said Ryan Vaughn, president of Indiana Sports Corp. “Esports is a multi-billion dollar industry and we’re just scratching the surface on all of the opportunities this industry can bring to those involved and the state of Indiana.”
