BRUNSWICK, MAINE - July 22, 2026 | Omnic.AI, a leader in esports player performance and data intelligence, has been named the exclusive Official Performance Intelligence Partner of the National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE), the leading association for varsity esports programmes across North America.
Through the partnership, Omnic.AI will bring its advanced analytics and computer vision tools to NACE member institutions across North America, giving coaching staff access to the kind of performance data long relied on by professional sports teams. Designed to amplify coaches rather than replace them, the technology adds a new layer of depth to student-athlete development. Omnic.AI will also showcase its flagship Omnic Forge platform at the 2026 NACE National Convention, taking place 29th-31st July at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville.
What Makes Omnic.AI Different
Most esports analytics tools depend on game-provided telemetry or APIs, which limits them to a single title and to the data that a game publisher is willing to disclose. The Omnics Forge, the winner of the 2024 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference Startup competition, takes a fundamentally different approach: it analyzes raw gameplay video using proprietary computer vision and deep learning. A player simply uploads a match recording: no plug-ins, API access, or special hardware required, and Omnic Forge returns a full coaching breakdown, the way an expert analyst would if they watched the screen frame by frame.
Forge “watches” every single frame down to the pixel for the game rather than reading a data feed; it works across multiple titles, including Valorant, Fortnite, Overwatch 2, Madden NFL, Marvel Rivals, Apex Legends, and Rocket League, surfacing insights that telemetry alone cannot.
- Your personal, AI-powered coach - Players are provided concise, actionable advice regarding how they play individually, as a teammate, and even how they respond to map- and game-specific scenarios.
- Know exactly where you stand - Discover how your in-game performance compares with teammates, rivals, and even modern pros. All within a shareable stat card.
- Discover what you are good at - Go through standardized tests that measure your reaction time, targeting, and game sense, which are then benchmarked across the platform.
- Your best moments speak for themselves - Obtain automatically generated highlight reels so you can share your top plays with recruiters.
Signature Feature: Aim Analysis
Disclaimer: Aim Analysis is currently available for Valorant
At the center of the Omnic Forge is Aim Analysis, Omnics signature capability and one of its clearest points of differentiation. Aim Analysis maps every moment an opponent first appears on a player’s screen and shows exactly how the player responded down to the millisecond. The user receives feedback as to a landed headshot, a body shot, or a missed reaction alongside detailed aim metrics that break down accuracy, reaction time, and targeting behavior.
This turns something notoriously difficult to coach: RAW AIM, into concrete, visual, frame-by-frame feedback. This is absolutely vital information for any coach or player that cannot be recorded by the human eye. It is precisely the kind of insight that standard stat lines and game APIs cannot produce, because it depends on understanding what the player actually saw.
