MINT Gaming and VALR team up to find South Africa's next esports stars
VALR is our first official partner. Together we're searching for the country's top talent, and looking at hosting our own events in 2027.
MINT Gaming has partnered with VALR, one of Africa's leading digital asset platforms, as our first official partner.
It's a partnership between two South African companies with the same belief: this country produces world-class gamers, and they deserve a real pathway to the top. VALR's logo will sit on our kit, our streams and our channels as we build that pathway together.
Finding South Africa's top talent
Over the coming months, MINT Gaming and VALR will be looking for the players who will wear our crest. We'll be watching where South Africans already compete, from local LANs to online cups and national circuits, across every one of our divisions.
- We scout where you already play. There's no form to fill in: compete, and get noticed.
- Open trials for each division will be announced on our socials first, then here.
- Trials are always free. Nobody ever pays to play for MINT Gaming, and anyone asking you to is not us.
Events in 2027
We're also looking at hosting MINT Gaming events with VALR in 2027: tournaments and community days where up-and-coming players can compete, be seen and meet the scene. Nothing is locked in yet. Dates, titles and venues will be announced here once they're confirmed.
South Africa has never been short of talent. With VALR behind us, we can start building the pathway it deserves.
Part of the MINT family
MINT Gaming is part of MINT Platforms, the South African group behind myMINT, the app that helps you set goals and invest towards them. Gaming is where young South Africans spend their time; we want to help them build something that lasts beyond the server too.
