UC San Diego Esports
Established in August of 2019 with the help of Triton Gaming and other student gaming groups on campus, UC San Diego Esports is a student-led organization housed within the UC San Diego Recreation Department and exists to give students the opportunity to experience the commitment, challenge and enjoyment of the competitive esports experience. We currently support nine different esports teams — League of Legends, Overwatch 2, StarCraft II, Dota 2, Valorant, Splatoon 3, Rocket League, and Super Smash Bros., Ultimate, and APEX Legends. These teams are initiated and run by students who reflect the diverse landscape of esports as a whole. UC San Diego Esports is committed to being as inclusive as possible and aims to give students access to the facilities, equipment and support that are needed to perform at the highest level.
In less than a year, Recreation will open the doors of its second esports facility for the first time, gaining 35 more PC gaming stations, including 10 on a raised stage.
Will you make a gift to support Esports today?
A gift of any size will continue to support the gaming community and the student-leaders that make it such a pivotal part of college for so many Tritons. And you can also support the program by naming a gaming chair in the new or current space (see below criteria).
What we will do with Giving Day donations:
Your gift will be used to support the programs operational expenses — travel, competition, equipment, events, team jerseys, etc. Any amount is greatly appreciated, but if you are participating in the Chair Naming Campaign you must meet the below criteria:
- A one-time gift of at least $2,500.
- A pledge of at least $2,500 over a maximum of 5 years.
- A joint gift with a friend or fellow alum (or two) of at least $2,500.
