The ESKF Combine

Kenya's pathway from gamer to national athlete

The Combine is the federation's national development and competition programme. It turns a registered gamer into a verified, ranked, nationally recognised athlete, and every verified match counts toward one rating.

How it works

Seven categories, one pathway

Registration and athlete profile happen in a single step. Verified matches in every category feed the same rating.

  • Gaming
  • Music
  • Film
  • Influencer
  • Sports
  • Arts
  • Tech
  1. 1

    Register and verify

    One action creates your registration and athlete profile. Identity verification runs from day one, and minors join under the guardian-vouched policy.

  2. 2

    Set your baseline

    Your first three verified matches set your baseline rating. The committee locks in the best of the three.

  3. 3

    Compete and progress

    Every verified match scores on one shared rubric and feeds a rolling 10-match average, the number on your athlete card and the leaderboard.

  4. 4

    Climb the ladder

    Rating bands run from Grassroots to Premier, with county rankings, a university leaderboard and a national World Ranking that feeds international selection.

  5. 5

    Earn recognition

    Fifteen badges, from Founding Athlete to National Champion, are awarded by the ESKF committee against verified records only.
