The University Esports Masters (UEMasters) is gearing up for an electrifying return in its 2024 season, promising an epic showdown of gaming prowess among university students across Europe.
With a hefty prize pool of €14,000 on the line, the stage is set for a competition that will not only showcase the best in collegiate esports but also highlight the growing prominence of the digital battleground in the academic arena.
Dr. Buhmann Akademie H has already made headlines as one of the winners from the AUEM University Esports Masters 23, setting the bar high for this year’s competitors.
The UEMasters has announced an expanded roster of games for the 2024 season, including fan favorites like League of Legends, Valorant, and Rocket League. In an exciting twist, this year also marks the introduction of open tournaments for Teamfight Tactics (TFT) and Clash Royale, offering a new battlefield for solo gamers to shine.
In a heartening development, Ukraine will make its return to the UEMasters competition this year, marking a significant moment of unity and resilience.
The inclusion of Ukraine, after a hiatus due to the ongoing conflict, underscores the event’s commitment to bringing together communities through the power of esports. However, in a nod to the complexities of the current geopolitical landscape, Russia will not participate in this year’s edition.
The University Esports Masters, now in its eighth season, stands as a testament to the burgeoning field of esports within the academic community. Organized by University Esports UK & Ireland, formerly known as NUEL and now under the wing of GGTech, the event aims to foster a robust community of gamers, offering a platform for competition, camaraderie, and the pursuit of a career in esports.
Last year’s LAN finals in Nottingham, UK, witnessed German and Turkish teams claiming victory, showcasing the diverse talent pool within European university esports.
While the location for this year’s grand finale remains shrouded in mystery, the anticipation is palpable, with promises of an in-person showdown in July for the top contenders in League of Legends and Valorant.
Support from game publishers, including Riot Games, highlights the industry’s recognition of the UEMasters as a breeding ground for the next generation of esports talent.
With registration open for individual gamers in TFT and Clash Royale until March 6th, 2024, students across Europe are gearing up for a chance to etch their names in the annals of university esports history.
Team-based games will see nations represented by their best, with qualifiers from national competitions vying for the coveted title of European Champion. The inclusion of Great Britain’s top teams, determined through the University Esports and British University Esports Championship, adds another layer of excitement to the mix.
As the UEMasters 2024 season unfolds, all eyes will be on Europe’s finest university gamers as they battle it out for glory, pride, and a slice of the €14,000 prize pool.
