Campus Legends, the premier student esports event organised by Singapore’s Cybersports & Online Gaming Association (SCOGA), is pressing continue on its run and returns for a fourth season after starting out in 2019. This follows last year’s successful run, which saw over 681,000 viewers tune in to its broadcasts and live streams.
Season 4 is set to begin on 20 May, with students from 16 of Singapore’s institutes of higher learning competing for the chance to win S$25,000 worth of prizes this year. While old favourite Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) is once again headlining the mobile category, this season features two new games for the competition — and this year’s event is the first time it will have three titles to compete in.
The first is the massively popular title Valorant. The fast-paced first-person hero shooter makes its debut in Campus Legends and will be the game for competitors within the PC category to showcase their skills. Completing the trio is Zwift, a unique massively multiplayer game based on online cycling. The game, which is an individual competition, comes by way of SCOGA’s partnership with the Singapore Cycling Federation (SCF) and represents a different and more physical way for people to compete compared to other esports competitions.
Campus Legends Season 4 begins with individual school qualifying rounds before being followed by the group stages, taking place from June to July. Finally, the event caps off with the Grand Finals, from 6 to 7 August. This season is made more special since it sees the return of physical events, after the last two years were online-only. From the semi-finals onwards, visitors can see the action live for Valorant and MLBB while Zwift will culminate in a pulsating in-person final.
SCOGA and PVP Esports are also partnering up to present this season’s main prize, the SCOGA X PVP Esports Scholarship Fund. The scholarship fund is worth $12,000 and will be split into S$6,000 halves, with one being in cash and the other going into the winners’ Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA). Other rewards include over $13,000 worth of prizes from AOC Gaming Monitors, who come onboard as Campus Legends’ official monitor partner.
