Ramsey, Founder & CEO 1/7/2025

It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome the Columbia College Valorant and League of Legends teams to the Midwest Esports Conference (MEC). This marks an exciting new chapter in their journey, as these powerhouse teams bring their legacy of excellence to one of the most competitive collegiate esports conferences in the nation. As a long-time admirer of their program, I am thrilled to see their continued success and growth within the MEC.

A History of Excellence

Columbia College has long been synonymous with excellence in collegiate esports. Their consistent dominance across various titles—including League of Legends and Valorant—has established them as a beacon of skill, teamwork, and innovation. Over the past few years, they have demonstrated their ability to remain at the top of the collegiate esports scene, securing multiple national championships and fostering a culture of relentless determination.

The League of Legends team, in particular, has a storied history of competitive success, with their players consistently showcasing brilliant strategy and synergy. Their entry into the MEC signals an even brighter future for the competition, as they bring a blend of veteran expertise and rising talent to the stage.

Similarly, the Valorant team has been a force to be reckoned with. As one of the top collegiate squads, their meticulous gameplay and clutch performances have been a joy to watch. Joining the MEC offers them a fresh opportunity to test their mettle against some of the most skilled teams in the region while continuing to inspire up-and-coming players.

A Welcome Addition to the MEC

The addition of Columbia College’s teams to the MEC enriches the conference in numerous ways. Not only do they elevate the competitive standards, but they also embody the spirit of sportsmanship and community that the MEC prides itself on. Their presence ensures that every match will be a showcase of elite gameplay, pushing other teams to reach new heights and fostering a culture of growth across the league.

I’m particularly excited to see how their strategic brilliance in League of Legends and mechanical mastery in Valorant will play out against the seasoned teams already in the MEC. These matchups promise to be thrilling, and I have no doubt that Columbia College will leave an indelible mark on the conference.

Looking Ahead

As Columbia College takes this next step, I’m reminded of the importance of collaboration and mutual growth within the collegiate esports community. Their inclusion in the MEC is not just a win for the conference, but a win for collegiate esports as a whole. Their success sets a benchmark for others, and their involvement inspires future generations of players to strive for greatness.

I’m excited to witness the next chapter of your journey as you compete, inspire, and elevate the game for everyone involved.
