Sponsored by Woori Financial Group, hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and co-organized by the Korea e-Sports Association, the '2024 Esports University League' will reorganize its branding and competition structure, and recruitment of participating teams for the selection of representatives from the metropolitan and Gangwon regions will begin on the 3rd.
The new logo of the Esports University League highlighted the Korean consonants in the name of the tournament and expressed Esports in the English letters 'E'. The brand identity (BI) expressed the energy of college students, and the slogan was "PLAY, EXPERIENCE, TOGETHER", which means creating an esports culture with college students, the association said.
First of all, participating teams will be recruited to participate in the selection contest for representatives in the metropolitan and Gangwon areas by the 19th. The regional national team selection contest is an open competition in which general teams, not seeded teams, can participate, and the winning team in each event will get the right to participate in the final round. The events are 'League of Legends' and 'FC Online', and the final winning team will be determined through online preliminaries on the 22nd and offline finals on the 27th.
Participation is possible to any university student in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, and Gangwon, and all team members must be students from the same university. You can apply for the tryouts on Google Form. In the case of 'FC Online', it is conducted as a team match and provides a 'Team Matching' that groups three people from the same university into teams for individual applicants. Individual participants who want to match their teams can apply for participation through a separate Google form. Inquiries related to participation can be made in Kakao Talk Open Chat 'University League's Capital Gangwon Region Representative Selection' or 'University League FC Online Team Matching'. The competition to select representatives from other regions will be held from September to October.
Meanwhile, the winning work of the Mascot Contest with Woori Financial Group 'Unji & Con' was unveiled. 'Unage & Con' is an alien with a gamer concept 'Unage' and a companion slime 'Con' with a game monster concept, and plans to actively communicate with college students through university league contents in the future. An event will also be held to commemorate the selection of the mascot. If you write a comment on the university supporting by referring to the event guide on the university league Instagram, you can receive souvenirs such as keycaps and laptop pouches using mascots through a lottery.
The competition will be jointly organized by the Gwangju Information Culture Industry Promotion Agency, the Daejeon Information Culture Industry Promotion Agency, and the Busan Information Industry Promotion Agency along with the Korea e-Sports Association, and Woori Financial Group will participate as the title sponsor.
