Career opportunities are now being targeted with our transition over to Team Durham, as well as our most recent partnership with LDN UTD, who will be helping us lead talks on player mental health and coaching, hosting bigger tournaments as well as eventually aiming to set up a new Esports Scholarship at Durham. In terms of what we envision for the club nevertheless, DUEG still has a long way to go; some of our main plans include expanding the number of rentable gaming laptops we rent out for free to our paying members as well as getting a permanent room custom tailored for our top Uni squads to compete in.

We asked the society to tell us a little about themselves. From there sprouted a conversation on Discord, the main messaging app used by gaming enthusiasts, that began a close friendship and led to me becoming first the Overwatch, and now the current Welfare Rep for Durham University Esports and Gaming DUEG.

Becoming the Welfare Rep has allowed me to now be able to contribute to the community in a much more significant way, from promoting the mental wellbeing and team based gameplay of our main competitive teams with our new collaboration with LDN UTD and Team Durham to maintaining the casual side of DUEG for people who would prefer to play more relaxing or cooperative games, such as Minecraft, Animal Crossing or Mario Kart.

So when I came to university, I never even considered even looking for the gaming society. Shortly after I eventually made my way to the DUEG Discord in the hope of finding someone to watch a CS:GO tournament with, they launched a laptop loaning scheme allowing me to get my hands on a Lenovo Legion gaming laptop and finally fall back in love with the world of gaming and esports. My love of video games and esports only grew over time, and once I knew I was Durham bound, I sought out the Esports Society, keen to get involved with the scene and participate in the university tournaments.
