As the Belgian College League we not only organise our own tournaments and events, we also try to support esports by and for students. That is why we are proud to have been a part of the Vlaamse Finales, organised by Studentensport Vlaanderen. Those are mainly focussed on classic sports, but as BCL we tried to give students a taste of esports.

The Vlaamse Finales are the culmination of a season of sports for students, with finals between different universities. As you can see, it has a lot in common with BCL, so it was the perfect place to set up our little booth and show students that esports doesn’t always mean games like Counter-Strike or League of Legends. This time the students got a chance to experience a game with a physical component: Beat Saber.

We were glad to see so many students willing to try their hand at something new, and enjoying it! Not only is esports something unfamiliar for a lot of them, but also playing in VR isn’t something you get to do every day.

To entice them even more, we gave all participating students a chance to take part in a giveaway for an Omen laptop and a Nintendo Switch. As you can see, our winners were very delighted with their new gadgets.

The winner of our @OMENbyHP laptop is all smiles 😁

Congrats Demi, put it to good use 😉 pic.twitter.com/oU9YLyowT5

We will keep on supporting and visiting more and more universities and student events, to show the power and potential of esports and its industry. Maybe you’ll see us at your school very soon. If so, please come say hi and let us show you what esports has to offer. Or just play a game with us..
