Testimonials
Purdue Northwest University
"I have been with Unified since its inception because of their unique experience in creating esports tournaments and I have really enjoyed my time bringing my players into their competitions. They have created gaming environments not only for our players but also for our communities that have raised awareness in esports. I would highly recommend Unified tournaments as there are not many tournament organizers with the experience or quality that Unified offers."
Illinois College
"Unified has been a great experience so far with making collegiate competitions feel as high stakes as possible. With high quality production, fun LAN events and regional rivalries it’s been a blast."
Grand View University
"Unified has been a major staple of competition for us with easily some of the best LAN and broadcast events that we've been a part of in collegiate. Every year they get better and the competition gets stronger. Love what Unified is cooking up and happy to have been with them since the beginning."
