Pulse Mix 06:51 - 24 December 2022

The Kon10dr Esports Championship (KEC).

Some of Nigeria's best and brightest esports organisations and athletes competed in season two of the KEC Esports Championship with their eyes on the ₦10 million prize.

On December 27, the second edition of the Kon10dr Esports Championship (KEC), one of Nigeria's biggest esports competitions, will get underway after weeks of intense anticipation.

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).

The normal KEC Stage.

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.
