The UVU eSports Club was founded by Kye "CaptKaty" Browning in the Fall of 2014 with the hopes of creating a positive and non-toxic community for all types of gamers. The club was initally started as a League of Legends club, but quickly adapted to the eSports Club, due to school regulations and the interest of other students.

 

Over the course of the next year the eSports Club's membership numbers grew from 6, at inception, to over 200 and continues to grow everyday. The club has gained school wide recognition by hosting many multigame tournaments and by re-writing school rules to allow club members to play video games on the school computers. The club also was awarded the Club Excellence Award by UVU's Student Body Government in the Spring of 2015 (also its first year in existance). 

 

Today the club has 5 competetive teams that compete in a variety of games all over the nation. Our most notable accomplishments being a top 8 finish (2nd in groups, 7th overall) in the Univeristy of Utah's Crimson League (League of Legends) and a 4th place finish at aKa Gaming's Battlegrounds (Heroes of the Storm).

 

In the next few years we are planning to secure a designated pracitce space for collegiate team members, solidify sponsorships that will benifit our members and become a school and name to be reckoned within the collegiate eSports community.
