Ramsey, Founder & CEO 10/18/2024

Unified Esports Association (Unified) is thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership to bring Collegiate Valorant to both the Midwest Esports Conference (MEC) and the Mid-Atlantic Esports Conference (MAEC). Building on the successful model established with the Collegiate League of Legends, this collaboration will expand competitive opportunities for students and schools across these two prominent conferences.

Elevating Collegiate Esports

The partnership is set to align the MEC and MAEC with Riot Games' official Collegiate Valorant circuit, enhancing the scope and quality of competitive play available to collegiate teams. This integration will provide participating schools and students with structured tournament play, pathways to higher levels of competition, and exposure on a national stage. Teams will compete for prestige, prize pools, and opportunities to advance to Riot's official College Valorant Championship.

A Unified Vision

By incorporating Valorant, Unified is extending its commitment to shaping communities through iconic gaming events. Valorant, a strategic first-person shooter by Riot Games, has rapidly gained popularity since its release, particularly among the collegiate community. The inclusion of Collegiate Valorant into MEC and MAEC events is a natural progression, aligning with the growing demand for diverse esports offerings and further establishing Unified as a leader in collegiate esports.

What This Means for MEC and MAEC Schools

Participating schools will benefit from:

• Enhanced Competition: Teams will face off against some of the best collegiate Valorant players, fostering a higher level of competition and skill development.
• Increased Visibility: Valorant’s inclusion in the MEC and MAEC will attract a broader audience, offering schools and players increased visibility and opportunities for recognition.

Looking Ahead

The addition of Collegiate Valorant to the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic Esports Conferences signifies Unified's ongoing commitment to delivering top-tier esports experiences and supporting the growth of collegiate esports. With Valorant now a part of the official offerings, both the MEC and MAEC are poised to become even more significant hubs for competitive gaming in their respective regions.
