Predator Games Season 3 Set to Break European School Esports Records
Registration for Predator Games Season 3 — Europe’s premier school Esports tournament, set to take place in Poland — is in full swing and expected to break new records compared to previous editions.
If you’re interested in learning about the potential of Esports in education, we bet you’ll want to hear more about this thrilling event!
Europe’s largest school Esports tournament
Now entering its third season, the Predator Games is an educational Esports initiative held under the honorary patronage of the Polish Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Digital Affairs and supported by Acer. Over the years, the program has supported schools, teachers, and students across Europe, promoting an innovative and engaging approach to learning through technology and gaming.
But the Predator Games are about much more than Esports. The project aims to develop teamwork and communication skills, encourage healthy competition, and promote digital responsibility and online safety. With the active involvement of both teachers and students, the initiative helps create a modern, collaborative educational environment that bridges the gap between schools and the digital world.
Hosted in Poland and open to participants from across Europe, the Predator Games have already seen two successful editions, and Season 3 is set to reach an even wider audience — inspiring the next generation of gamers, learners, and digital citizens.
Record-breaking participation and strategic growth
The tournament continues to strengthen its reputation as Europe’s largest inter-school Esports competition. This year’s Predator Games are breaking new ground, with over 41,000 students from more than 3,800 primary and secondary schools set to compete across top Esports titles such as CS2, Fortnite, League of Legends, Rocket League, Teamfight Tactics, and Chess.
Season 3’s impressive growth is also fueled by strategic partnerships with local sponsors, further enhancing its reach and impact within the education sector. To boost engagement and reward community involvement, the event has introduced a proprietary loyalty currency (PRE-DOLLARS) that recognizes participants’ activity and support within the Predator ecosystem.
With over 50,000 players expected to take part and a prize pool exceeding PLN 800,000 (approximately USD 219,000), this season promises to deliver an unforgettable experience for both players and spectators. The competition will culminate in a live final event hosted in Poland, streamed online for fans across Europe — celebrating not only the best young gamers but also teamwork, communication, and digital growth.
Educational impact beyond gaming
Through the Predator Games, students are given the chance to do much more than compete — they develop essential skills, build confidence, and learn the value of teamwork and communication. The tournament promotes a spirit of healthy competition, encouraging participants to strive for excellence while respecting fair play and collaboration.
Equally important is the project’s focus on digital responsibility and online safety, helping young players navigate the digital world consciously and securely. Teachers and schools play a central role, working side by side with students to create a modern, inclusive educational environment where learning and gaming come together in meaningful ways.
Thanks to this initiative, young gamers have the opportunity to enhance their abilities, connect with peers who share their passions, and experience the excitement of professional-level play — all while strengthening the bond with parents and educators.
