About Us
National Esports Tournament (NEST) started with a simple yet ambitious vision: to create a platform where esports could thrive, bringing together players, teams, and fans from all corners of the gaming world. Founded in 2018, NEST was built to elevate competitive gaming by organizing high-quality tournaments and fostering a strong community around them.
What began as small, in-person events quickly grew into a movement. As the world changed, so did we—expanding into new opportunities like online tournaments, media production, job platforms, fashion, and education, all while staying true to our roots in esports. Today, NEST stands as more than just an event company. We are building a legacy brand that integrates esports into everyday life, driving innovation, competition, and community forward.
This is just the beginning. We’re not just creating tournaments—we’re shaping the future of esports.
