The staff has been wonderful to communicate with and the processes are all well aligned and laid out”, said Emily Vu, team manager for Winthrop University, Synthetic Org, and previously Mirage Esports. “My feedback and opinions are always heard and valid. The community is positive and uplifting, and the scene really thrives to learn and grow together. Unified has been a wonderful experience, and I've grown a lot as a person by working with the people here!” "The team at Unified is extremely experienced and a joy to work with, and have given us an organized and smooth-sailing Tier 1 tournament experience”, said Amanda Wong, team manager of Supernova. “From the custom interface of League spectator view, to the amazing casters and special guests - the quality of production was absolutely phenomenal.

“Unified puts on a fantastic show and really focuses on giving viewers a positive experience”, said Tim Sevenhuysen, Unified Grand Prix League of Legends Analyst. “I was impressed with the amount of effort they put into finding the right people to run the Unified Grand Prix tournament, from finding the best possible on-air talent to putting together an all-star production crew worthy of a pro event. I hope to see a lot more out of Unified in the years to come.”
