My Kenko at the 2023's 95 Kings of Fields!
You are probably wondering, "What is the KOF"? This is the acronym of 95 Kings of Fields, an Esport and sport tournament in Eaubonne, in the Val d'Oise, taking place during an entire weekend in the amazing facility of the CDFAS. We can encounter many streamers, sportspersons and also Esport players who have to compete on different games: FIFA, SSBU (Super Smash Bros Ultimate), TFT (Teamfight Tactics), SF6 (Street Fighter 6) and Trackmania. KOF 2023's cash prize came to more than 30 000 €, with partnerships such as MGEN, ABVV and Omen.
Well then, why was My Kenko invited as a favoring partner? We were present at the KOF to encourage every participant to move and relax in between two games and also, so they could discover our games in Move 2 Play*.
*Move 2 Play: It's a My Kenko technology plugged in video games, in which players have to do certain movements with their body in order for the character/object to move. Those movements were already defined by our team thanks to motion capture using computer vision, this innovation being an integral part of My Kenko.
