Where African gaming grows
KOTG is a Malawian gaming and esports company. We produce esports events, activate games for studios and brands, and host CyberExpoX. Along the way we train young people in the skills behind the screen, and grow the talent that will make Africa’s next games.
We led the formation of the Esports Association of Malawi, pushed for esports to be recognised as a sport, and have sent players to compete internationally.
