Introducing The Thirty

The Thirty is a professional esports organization. It was founded in Nigeria, and it is built to compete internationally. That is the whole idea, and everything that follows on this site is in service of it.

What we are

We are a team of people who believe the best competitors from this part of the world have been under-served: under-coached, under-managed and under-exposed. The Thirty exists to change the conditions those competitors work in. Structure, preparation, management and a route to the biggest stages in the game.

Our first professional division is The 30, competing in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. It is the first unit of an organization designed to hold more than one.

The name

The Thirty is named after a small company of warriors remembered not for their number, but for what they did when the odds were against them. Individually, each was known for something extraordinary. Together, they were the unit a king relied on. We tell that story properly on the About page. On the field, it comes down to a few simple things: stand your ground, carry your weight, and never let the person beside you fall.

Where we start

Nigeria is where we begin. It is home, it has an enormous gaming population, and the competitive scene is still being built, which means there is room to build it properly. The world is where we compete.

Over the coming months you will see The 30 compete, our schedule fill out, and the beginnings of the wider organization: Thirty Academy for development, Thirty Creators for content, and Thirty Apparel for everything we wear.

This is the first thirty. We start here.
