About the Team
Georgia State is organizing practice suites and a venue for tournament play and offering a small number of scholarships to supplement HOPE awards for those qualifying for National Association of Collegiate Esports tournament play. The Georgia Esports League plans to provide scholarships to students winning statewide events.
Orientation sessions and competitions to fill team slots with the most talented players are on-going. The university will start by connecting students to League of Legends and Smite competitions, but students playing on other platforms are also encouraged to join.
Join the Team
While advanced players are welcomed, students with wider games interest are also welcomed. Students interested in broadcasting and commentary, production and marketing of Esports and tournaments, coaching, student management and game development are encouraged to participate.
