E-sports is becoming more and more democratized, it’s no longer just a simple passion of teenagers in their bedrooms but this technique is becoming a sector in its own right that is becoming increasingly dynamic.
At Exscape, we constantly stay tuned to the trends that shape the world of digital entertainment. The rise of E-sports particularly excites us, as it embodies the innovation, competitiveness and creativity that resonate with our own DNA.
In the Maghreb, a Tunisian team stands out as a model of professionalization, but also of influence, it is: GnG Esports.
Since 2016, this collective of enthusiasts has carved out a remarkable place for itself to become an essential reference in the North African e-sports scene.
A project driven by passion and ambition
GnG Esports, acronym for “Gamers and Geeks”, is an idea born in Tunis from a simple but powerful desire: to bring together the best Tunisian talents in a solid, competitive and ambitious structure. From its beginnings, the team has displayed strong values: mutual aid, rigor, passion for gaming and the will to shine well beyond borders.
In just a few years, the organization has risen to the top of national rankings, forging its reputation around its performances on games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends and Valorant.
A professional structure and a united collective
What distinguishes GnG Esports is its ability to reconcile passion and professionalism. Far from being a simple gathering of gamers, the team functions as a true organization: managers, coaches, starting players, media team… Each role is defined, each objective is planned.
In 2023, they won the Tunisian national CS:GO Championship, opening the doors to African qualifiers for the World Championship in Romania. A continental recognition that marks a turning point: GnG Esports is no longer simply a Tunisian team, but a standard-bearer for the entire region.
The merger with Team Amazigh: a new chapter
In February 2024, GnG Esports operated a strategic rapprochement with Team Amazigh, another promising entity in the Maghreb e-sports landscape. Together, they gave birth to GnG Amazigh, a superstructure designed to strengthen their competitiveness on the international scene and to pool their resources.
This bold move reveals a rare maturity in African e-sports, often marked by the dispersion of efforts. GnG Esports shows that it is possible to build, innovate and move forward by thinking collectively.
Regional influence and international vision
With more than 20,000 followers on Instagram and a growing presence on TikTok and Twitch, GnG Esports cultivates an engaged and passionate community. They multiply content, share behind-the-scenes glimpses of their competitions, and highlight rising figures from the Tunisian scene.
But the ambition doesn’t stop there. It continues with participating in international tournaments, competing against European and Asian teams, building a strong and representative image of North Africa on the biggest e-sports stages.
Conclusion: a model to follow
GnG Esports is not just a team of brilliant players: it’s also a vision, and a source of national pride. By betting on training, team spirit and solid partnerships, they lay the foundations for a more ambitious, more unified, and more visible African e-sports.
On this Exscape blog, we salute them as builders. Because that’s exactly what they are: the architects of a future where Tunisia will shine on screen, keyboard in hand.
