Three orgs. One roster. Built across borders to compete at the Carry1st Africa Cup 2026 — and built to last beyond it.
UAHMT is not one org's project. Three orgs — UPAGAINSTHELL, Monarchs Esports, and TEF Esports — under a single roster, competing as one team. Three different histories. One shared bet.
A legacy org that never really left — it just went quiet for a stretch. The faithful never stopped believing. This campaign marks the return, properly, with the structure the name always promised.
Last year's run wasn't a fluke. The owner steps in with something to prove again — and the receipts to back it.
The newest name in this lineup, arriving with more structure and investment discipline than orgs with years of history. Underestimate them at your own risk.
"The prize pool was never the business. It's the soft landing — the real opportunity is everything around the games."
Kenya, South Africa, Mauritius, and the Philippines — assembled on the bet that the best team in African CODM history doesn't have to come from one country, or one comfort zone.
KENCompetitive since 2021, regarded as one of the sharpest in-game minds in East Africa. Calm under pressure — the team's gravitational center on and off the server.
RSAPlays with unpredictability that makes opponents second-guess every engagement. Highlight-reel ready, impossible to ignore.
PHIOne of the most feared shotgun players in the Philippines' stacked scene. UAHMT's marquee international signing — first major step into a new region.
PHIVersatile across roles — equally comfortable closing distance or holding angles. Part of the wave of Filipino talent reshaping African rosters.
KENSteady, reliable positioning and execution. The kind of player coaches build systems around.
KENTeam-first mentality, consistent across a lineup full of bigger personalities. Does the unglamorous work that wins matches.
MRIMauritian wonderkid universally considered an all-time top 3 African player. Joined the campaign as a late addition — immediately raised the ceiling.
PHIA respected voice from the Garena region, bridging strategy and meta knowledge into the African scene. Coaching staff, not a playing slot.
Announcements, milestones, and recaps — the permanent record alongside the daily content on socials.
UAHMT closed out the group stage in commanding fashion — winning their games on Sunday to top the standings and book their place in the Carry1st Africa Cup 2026 playoffs. The team's first competitive result since assembling the roster, with no scrims, no warm-up tournaments, and almost no public buildup.
UPAGAINSTHELL, Monarchs Esports, and TEF Esports are officially combining forces for the Carry1st Africa Cup 2026, competing as UPAGAINSTHELL MONARCHS TEF. A roster built deliberately across borders, scenes, and competitive cultures — and a campaign built on collaboration, not competition for the same talent pool.
Official organizer and digital games marketplace behind the Africa Cup — the competitive infrastructure UAHMT competes within.
Community, marketing and media partner supporting UAHMT's reach across Lagos and the wider Nigerian audience.
Media and production partner supporting UAHMT's content output across stages.
An early believer in the UAHMT vision — backing the campaign before there was anything to show for it.
Jersey placement, stream integration, branded content, and category exclusivity across a three-stage, multi-country campaign — priced against what was actually paid for less last year.
Seven sellable positions across the official UAHMT kit, worn at Nairobi (Stage 3) and Mexico (Stage 5) on the main stage, and across all UAHMT parallel content throughout the campaign.
A leading sponsor paid $2,000 last year for a single, last-minute LAN. This is a structured campaign with weeks of buildup, content, and a story the scene is already watching.
