The LINK Educational Alliance e-sport club held a three-game LAN competition – FIFA, CS:GO and League of Legends. 

 

 

LINK eSports gathered its students in the gaming centre Net Cafe Escape and formed teams for a two-day LAN competition. The organiser announced the plans that such a tournament will be held one more time in the course of this summer.  

 

Besides the ITS students, the competitors came from Savremena Gimnazija, ITHS – Information Technology High School, International School and the Faculty of Contemporary Arts in Belgrade. Regarding the format, CS:GO and League of Legends teams played BO3 semifinals, while their final matches were BO5. As FIFA sessions are generally much shorter when compared to CS:GO and LoL, first there was a group phase and then BO3 semifinals and BO5 finals. 

 

 

The first phase of the LINK eSports project was scouting, while the second consisted of tournaments in which student teams took part. The teams were made of students coming from 5 different faculties and secondary schools. Initially, the teams played each other while at the later stage, each team played two opponents simultaneously. 

 

LINK eSports as a part of the LINK Educational Alliance was created with the goal of making e-sport competitions popular. Given the worldwide popularity of e-sport, when selecting the games for the competition, we opted for those most widespread, thus making the final competition results truly valuable. As agreed with Net Cafe Escape centre, the tournaments lasted for two days.
