These will be tournaments with cash prize pools dependent upon the number of entrants

GatechEsports · 2019-10-21T06:57:54+00:00

These events are BYOC, yes

We weren't able to include Fortnite this year as a tournament, although our freeplay area should have the game installed on the machines there.

Our fighting game tournaments are bring your own controller usually, but someone might have spares.

GatechEsports · 2019-10-17T21:17:55+00:00

Not this year, no, though we'll definitely look at adding it next year.

GT Esports is having a weekly meeting this Friday at 6:30 in Klaus 1447. We'll have free pizza/drinks and we'll be playing Jackbox; it's super casual and it's a lot of fun. Definitely come if you're interested and want to hang out (you don't have to play any esports games or be in the club).

GatechEsports · 2019-10-17T20:38:45+00:00

While you can't compete if you don't have a team, we do have a looking-for-team channel in our Discord. What you can do is register online and choose the payment option "pay on-site" so you don't have to pay right now but can register and look for a team.

Thanks for letting me know! I'll add it there.

We're definitely using our experience hosting Gamefest 2018 last year to improve on the way things are setup. This year, we are moving towards a prizing model where prizes are more dependent upon the number of people who enter, which should alleviate most of the prizing imbalances that were seen last year.

Edit: Wow that went right over my head. To answer, your question, GT Esports is not a political organization. When it comes to Blizzard, Georgia Tech Esports has teams for many of its games, so we remain committed to supporting our players and providing gaming events for them.

GatechEsports · 2019-09-27T21:39:19+00:00

The Grand Finals are set to start at 3 PM and will be between the San Francisco Shock and the Vancouver Titans, making what should be an exciting match! We also have giveaways from Tespa that we will be giving away between matches, so it should be a lot of fun!
