“Like UC San Diego, Turtle Beach is driven to foster inclusive gaming culture, and we do that by supporting industry and local community leaders who cultivate spaces that bolster the gaming community and allow all gamers to compete at their highest levels,” said Juergen Stark, Chairman and CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. “It is a privilege to support such a phenomenal school, which is located in the same community as our primary west coast office. We look forward to many national championships in the future, but more importantly we are honored to help support and shape some of the brightest minds in college while they are in school, and to help prepare them to be successful leaders once they graduate and start their chosen careers.”

“UC San Diego leadership and Recreation are excited to champion the growth and development of UCSD Esports and the gaming communities on campus. With the opening of our first Triton Esports Center approaching, the partnership with Turtle Beach and ROCCAT showcases the incredible community that builds, supports, and accelerates esports forward,” notes Rich Mylin, Director of UC San Diego Recreation. “Furthermore, the investment they have made in creating scholarship opportunities for students will have a tremendous impact well beyond today.”

UCSD Esports was established in 2019 in partnership with student gaming organizations, including Triton Gaming, one of the nation’s biggest collegiate networks for esports and video games. It provides students and the campus community an electrifying program to rally around within the Triton Esports Center (TEC). Currently, the program supports competitive teams in League of Legends, Overwatch, Rocket League, StarCraft II, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Valorant, and Splatoon 2.
