The University of California San Diego (UCSD) recently opened up a brand new esports facility for students to play online video games around the world. The center, which is called the Triton Esports Center, will be a part of the school’s recreation department.
This recently converted coffee shop has been outfitted with 26 state-of-the-art computers, wired internet, and a slew of gaming accessories. All UCSD students are welcome to use the venue for both casual gaming and organized competitions. Moreover, the center awarded nine scholarships to students interested in becoming a part of the global gaming community worth $1,500 each.
“If I had the chance, I’d play this all day,” said Josh Chou, a UCSD senior and the President of UCSD Esports. “I didn’t think that I would see it in my college lifetime, and yet here we are.”
UCSD is a public school based in San Diego, California that was founded in 1960. As of the Fall 2020 semester, there were over 31,800 students enrolled at the university.
