COBIS x DAIGON Esports Competition

Together with DAIGON Esports, COBIS schools were invited to take part in our Esports Competition.

A total of 52 teams from 24 different COBIS schools fought for the right to be crowned 2025-26 champions. The competition went beyond gaming by providing a structured, high-pressure environment where students actively develop critical thinking, communication, resilience, leadership, and strategic decision-making‑making skills that directly translate to academic success and future workplace readiness.

Finals Day, held on 31 January 2026, brought together the winners from the group stage held earlier in the academic year to showcase their talents. Many congratulations to everyone who took part, and in particular to the schools who now move on to take part in the Student Esports World Championships!
