About LeagueOS Portal Combine 3:

LeagueOS will be holding it's 3rd LOS Portal Combine recruiting

LeagueOS identifies the Top 100 Prospects (considering both playing skill and academic readiness) for each graduating class currently in high school, and Portal users can view and contact the Top 100 through the Portal.

LeagueOS will collect RSVPs ahead of time and distribute a list of confirmed Prospects to NAECAD conference goers one week prior to the Combine.

The Combine will consist of:
- Show matches for OW2, Rocket League, SSBU, and VALORANT
- Prospect Interviews & VODs to be available in LOS Portal
- Skill tests (reaction time, memory, accuracy)
- Networking time

At the Combine, each student will present a card with their name to display when they network and play to make it easy for recruiters to identify who's who.
