NEW Ajou e-Sports Championships 2020 Ends in Success

Ajou e-Sports Championships 2020, organized by the University’s student union, concluded with great success. Held online in place of the usual offline campus-wide festival, the Championships drew much attention and participation from students.
The student union held matches for three games, League of Legends (LOL), Crazyracing Kartrider, and Among Us, from November 7-16. Participants organized their own teams and competed online. The semifinals and final for LOL took place before a live audience in the Yeonam Hall auditorium.
The offline matches were hosted by popular game hosts (Jeon Yong-jun and Lee Hyeon-woo) and livestreamed via Ajou’s YouTube channel. A limited number of spectators were admitted, with a much larger number of Ajou students streaming the game.
Other famous game streamers were also invited to the offline matches to play against Ajou students, including current students who won a lottery to participate in the game as well as the semifinalists and finalists chosen through the previous matches.
Seon Eun-jae (chemical engineering), head of the Culture Planning Bureau in the student union who planned the event, explained, “It was challenging to organize an event of this scale, but we did it in the hopes of giving Ajou’s students a chance to have fun and create good memories amid these difficult times.”
The student union organized the event to cater, at least in part, to students’ thirst for on-campus activities and interaction, which have been curbed by the recent pandemic.
Video footage from the Championships, including those of major matches, is available for streaming on Ajou’s YouTube channel.
