At University of Advancing Technology (UAT) the esports club is one of the biggest clubs on campus in terms of member count. Within the club we feature a common ground for all students to congregate and have fun in the usual high stress environment of college life. Not only does the club feature a high-skill environment for our students to challenge themselves, but we also have a casual environment as well for students to gather around games that they simply love to play allowing for the fostering of new skills within those games to show off to their peers.
The Many Games we Play
Here at UAT, we pride ourselves on our technological flexibility, even when it comes to our clubs. In the Esports and Gaming club, we have sections for any game the students request and even if we get full teams for those games, they can start their own Esports team!
The games we currently have active are (but not limited to):
Overwatch 2
League of Legends
Marvel Rivals
Valorant
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Rainbow Six: Siege
If a game you love is not listed here, FEAR NOT! Within the Gaming and Esports club at UAT, you can always become a captain or have you and your friends and simply message one of our officers to make your team official within the Wyverns Esports league!
Why make a team?
If you sign up for an esports league here at UAT, you can participate in MCEL (Maricopa County Esports League). The MCEL is a esports league hosted where people from learning institutions all over Arizona play to be the best across Arizona in a once a seasonal event where all the learning institutions compete in games they love to potentially win prizes!
Open Gym
We meet every week for Open Gym on Friday at 1:30pm-3:30pm typically, where anyone can stop by to vote on a game that we will play collectively as well as advertise stuff happening within the club such as new events, officer roles opening up and general esports and gaming club announcements.
Events
Typically within the Esports club, we try to have at least one event a month for people to join in and have a blast on whichever event we have cooked up for that month. One of our most recent projects is a Extra-Life Charity stream that we will be hosting soon, however that is not the only event.
Here is a list of events to look forward to within Esports club:
Game Specific Tournaments (Sometimes even with prizes)
Charity Live Steams
Game Custom matches
Open Gym
And we are always open to new ideas for new events from the students or if they want to host their own!
Go Wyverns!
