About us
We are UWL’s Gaming Society. It is our vision to provide a platform for members to explore their passions for gaming, be that as a part of our esports teams, or as a casual player with a group of friends.
We want to give our members new experiences such as competing in LAN tournaments and Local tournaments for Smash Bros. We are a sociable society that is open to all students whether you are casual player who wants to have fun or a competitive player who wants to find new strategies.
We often try to run social events on site or online and encourage working with other societies to broaden the horizons and prospects of our members.
We want members to not only take part in events scheduled by the committee but to also experience a more open community whilst studying at UWL and have the platform to host events of their own.
We have a balanced community, and we are actively becoming more diverse and representative of the wider student body at UWL.
University Esports Via NUEL & NSE
Want to experience what its like for Pengu, Faker, JJonak or Hungrybox to play in the big leagues. NUEL and NSE is the place for players to represent the West London Wyverns and go head-to-head against other universities. There is no requirements to play in these tournaments, so if you are interested hop in to tournaments for Rainbow Six Siege, League of Legends, Overwatch, CS:GO, Valorant and more. You will learn new strategies and be in sync with your teammates.
Membership
When students purchase membership, you will receive an email which invites you to access the Gaming Society Discord Server and the WhatsApp channel. You will also get free entry to all events run internally on campus and discount for certain events run externally such as the red bull gaming sphere, Varsity, etc.
We are also currently working on providing our members feedback forms so they are more aware of leaving feedback and can openly suggest changes or events that the other members may like. We are doing this for this year to show that we are committed as a society and that we are also open to change.
