New Challenger Approaching (NCA) is a non-profit public charity. We are a passionate gaming community that runs tournaments for eSports. We have been running tournaments for over three years and want to take a different approach to help service our society.
We want to build, buy, or rent a facility to educate individuals seeking an alternative way of affording education and receiving scholarships through eSports.
NCA would like to partner with universities that offer eSports scholarships and learn what they are looking for in a candidate.
NCA will then take that knowledge to teach, coach, and train possible candidates. That way, they will be more likely to be approved for a scholarship to those universities.
NCA will also host tournaments at the facility and work alongside sponsors to provide the best eSports tournament experience so recruiters can see everything the candidate offers.
Our goal is to educate passionate gamers and assist those less fortunate to pay for college by achieving a scholarship through eSports.
