This is not a drill - we made a list!

[Team NZL Esports @TeamNZL_Esports]

Team New Zealand has cracked national primetime news with the success of the NZ @eblacks_ squads who have qualified for @ENC_EN.

So far New Zealand has qualified in 6x titles:
- Rainbow 6
- Rocket League
- Trackmania
- League of Legends
- Chess
- VALORANT

[E Blacks @eblacks_]

Friendliness is not a weakness in this space. It's actually one of New Zealand's strengths.

We put the question to our #EBlacks: what makes Kiwis different? @magicnzdota and @DotaTobz both landed on the same answer. We're good people to play with.

Competitive gaming online has a reputation for a reason, and we're not pretending every Kiwi is an exception, but the consensus means something. In rooms that can turn toxic quickly, our players think Kiwis make them better. 🎮

Who comes out of tonight carrying the region on their shoulders?

Seven kiwi players step into the Street Fighter 6 Oceania Qualifier at 8:00 PM NZST, each fighting through double elimination brackets for a single spot at #ENC26 in November.

There is no margin for two losses and no path back after that. The stakes are high but the players are ready.

We've seen fans rally like never before for the #ENC26 qualifiers so far, so what makes it different?

We asked our Dota2 Team what they thought before their games tonight.

[Jonathan 'Arkadian' Jansen @TheRealArkadian]

This team is young, extremely talented and have been very focused over the last few days.

Come support them rise to the occasion and let's get another team on the world stage.

[NZ Esports @NZ_Esports_]

What this tour built is bigger than any single result.

Our KIA E Blacks spent a week in Kuala Lumpur building the relationship between New Zealand and one of the world's most developed esports nations, Malaysia. That week will shape where this sport goes here for years.

The Dota 2 squad won both matches. @JMKKiing took the first game against the top-ranked EAFC player in Asia. CEO, @TheRealArkadian, appeared on BFM 89.9, reaching 400,000 listeners. A formal MoU between NZ Esports and the Malaysian Esports Federation is now signed.

Kiwis claim both spots at the OCE Trackmania Qualifiers 🏆

Tonight's qualifiers came down to fine margins across the laps, but in the end, @JSwagTM and @baiwack pulled ahead on points, claiming first and second on the podium and securing their places at the Esports Nations Cup this November. 🎉

We can't wait to see them compete as #EBlacks at the first-ever #ENC26 . It's a debut worth waiting for 🤙.
