Inside the Teneo E-Sports Club: How it works

The Teneo E-Sports Club meets every Friday from 15:00 to 16:00 and is open to all learners, regardless of experience.

Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, here’s what you can expect from our weekly meetups at South Africa’s Nr. 1 online school:

  • Game highlights and recaps

  • Problem-solving and peer coaching

  • Tips, tricks, and gameplay support

  • A safe e-sports environment for learners to connect and collaborate

We proudly participate in ASL, the ACGL School League, powered by Acer Nitro. The league began in 2022 and is currently the largest school e-sports league in the world, with just shy of 200 registered schools. The league exists online through its streams, events, and the 5000 students who participate in the 10 games currently offered.

Joining the Teneo E-sports Club is free, and learners can sign up anytime! However, learners are responsible for any optional e-sports tournaments or league entry fees if they choose to compete externally.
