Kenyan esports has moved from confusion to full-blown transformation in a matter of days following the launch of TR Esports. What began as silent updates and internal allegations has now produced a brand new powerhouse, which is meant to shake up the competitive scene.
Jafar, former manager of Z Esports, has officially launched TR Esports, a team that includes Trex, Regulus, and Prorate. The trio isn’t just a collection of talent; it’s a statement.

Trex: The Captain
At the heart of this new project is Trex, Kenya’s top-ranked FC 26 player. Unsurprisingly, his reputation precedes him: clutch performances in high-stakes tournaments, leaderboard dominance in FC 26 and ability to carry his team when it counts.

Trex’s move to TR Esports is the hottest topic in Kenya’s esports scene at the moment. The move does not only make the start of a new chapter in his gaming career but instantly makes the team a favorite in upcoming tournaments.
Trex isn’t just joining a new team; he is defining it with his skill, leadership, and experience. Speaking to Sportsleo following the launch of TR Esports, manager Jafar shared his thoughts on Trex’s mindset and ambition:

“Trex is happy in his new team, and he is fully committed to this project. He will be back stronger than ever and fully focused on maintaining his current position as Kenya No. 1. We’ve built TR Esports to support his growth, not just as a player, but as a leader for the team.”
“This is a fresh start, but the goal remains the same: compete at the highest level, dominate tournaments, and inspire the next generation of players.” He continued.
Meanwhile, Trex said that parting ways with Z Esports was not an easy decision but he’s now focused on what’s coming.

“Leaving Z Esports was not an easy decision, but sometimes you need to start over to grow and push yourself. The past is behind me, and I’m focused on what comes next.”
“I’m excited to be part of something new with players who want to win, just like I do. My goal is still the same: to stay at the top of the game and keep Kenya my title as Kenya No. 1. This (TR Esports) is a new chapter, and I can’t wait to show what we can do.” He said.
Regulus: The Rising Star
While Trex brings along success to TR Esports, Regulus represents the future of Kenyan gaming.
Regulus is widely regarded as one of the best young players in the country. He has already shown great mechanical skill, a good sense of the game, and the ability to make quick decisions under pressure.
Putting a veteran like Trex with a young, talented player like Regulus is a great way to mix mentorship and hunger. The combination of experience and potential could make TR Esports a strong competitor in the future.
Prorate: A Proven Competitor

Prorate, another young player who has already established himself as one of Kenya’s best, completes the trio.
The youngster had his breakout moment during last year’s Betika FC 25 tournament when he made it to the final, losing to Harry Kappa. He has also won multiple Phoenix tournaments and qualified for Swiss FC Pro a few weeks ago.
Prorate can handle stress as he is tough, calm, and knows how to plan ahead. His addition gives TR Esports a proven big-stage player who can turn almost losses into wins.
TR Esports Vision
TR Esports isn’t just about getting big names to sign up. Jafar has carefully put together a team that balances leadership, emerging talents, and competitive versatility.
- Immediate Impact: Trex brings instant credibility and the ability to compete at the highest level.
- Long-Term Growth: Regulus represents the next generation and is ready to become one of Kenya’s top players.
- Tournament-Proven Talent: Prorate brings experience and toughness from big competitions.
This plan shows that Jafar wants to build a long-lasting powerhouse—a team that can compete with established organizations while also developing talent for the long term.

Shaking Up the Scene
The creation of TR Esports makes the competition even tougher right away. The message is clear for teams like Z Esports and Phoenix Esports: the top of Kenyan FC 26 is no longer guaranteed.
Every upcoming tournament now has more excitement: Trex will be up against former teammates like Shaq, Bashir and Ceaser. Fans are already talking about the matchups, the chemistry, and how TJ Esports will perform when the pressure is on.
