Rutgers Esports was first founded in Fall 2014 by a small group of gaming club leaders at Rutgers University. They came together with a shared vision: a place for all gamers, no matter who they are, what they play, or how seriously they play it, to call home. Since that day, Rutgers Esports has grown from a handful of scattered gaming clubs to a thriving, unified community. We are now one of the largest student groups on campus, holding events that draw over 800 attendees, fielding teams and players that stand among the best in North America, and leading collegiate esports in both event attendance and social media influence. We've gotten the chance to work together with some of the most forward-thinking companies in the world -- and we've done all this while staying true to our roots in the community, remaining entirely student-run and student-led.
