ProjectTencent E-Sports
Founded on December 9, 2016, Tencent E-Sports is a global leader and pioneer in the esports industry. With the world’s most extensive tournament system, the largest esports user base, and top-tier viewership, Tencent E-Sports is not only shaping the ecosystem but also redefining esports as a culturally relevant and trend-setting new-age sport. Its business spans professional tournaments, esports education, technology, franchising, and more — creating a multi-dimensional platform for innovation and influence.

The refresh will extract and refine core elements from the current identity, enhancing uniqueness and recognition across all platforms. While keeping the iconic black-gold palette, we’ll introduce fresh, youthful accent colors to boost visual energy. Typography in both Chinese and English will be modernized for a unified, global voice. Supporting graphics will be expanded for flexibility, and the overall tone will shift younger, more fashionable, and culturally relevant — all while staying true to Tencent E-Sports’ core values and future vision.
