I want to thank all of the amazing folks who contributed to our Overwatch team over the years. It's been an amazing ride filled with amazing people. It's a rough budget season but I'm thankful that the campus is finding a way forward for UCI Esports.

Peeps of the internet. Today is #UCIGIVINGDAY and we've got some fun incentives for giving. The big goal is to get 50 total gifts (of any amount!) to unlock a $50,000 donation. If we get up to $60k, I'm shaving my head. What can you give? #UCIWIN
If you would like to participate in helping us raise funds, feel free to use this bingo board on your socials! Have your friends, family, and more show proof that they donated to UCI Esports…then you fulfill these dares yourself 😈 #UCIGivingDay

Thank you, Brenden “Tildae” Alvarez 🫶 Tildae began his journey at UCI Esports in 2016, from a player to overseeing the arena. To UCI Esports, Brenden is more than a colleague—he’s our friend. We wish him well as he departs from UCI Esports and continues into a new chapter!
