After thrilling matches in the qualifying round, the top contenders for the championship in the three games VALORANT, Wild Rift, and PUBG Mobile have emerged. They all gathered at the Final Round of UEC Samsung Fall 2022 with a common goal: to claim the championship title this time.
Although still quite young, UEC (University Esports Championship) – the esports tournament for university and college students has demonstrated professionalism from preparation to organization. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s take a tour to recap the highlights that took place at this year’s Final Round.
The Atmosphere Before the Final Round and the Unique Harbor Room of VALORANT
Ahead of the finals, fans from various universities arrived at the venue early, creating a lively atmosphere right from the first moments. Attendees not only witnessed stunning matches but also had the opportunity to take home valuable prizes by collecting stickers while participating in games or completing simple tasks at the Booth Area.
At UEC Samsung 2022, VNG also brought the Harbor Room – an exciting experience activity for VALORANT. By visiting and playing games at the Harbor Room, players had the chance to win attractive prizes such as in-game spray items and lanyards. This activity also promoted the upcoming release of the new agent Harbor in VALORANT.
Ha Linh – Head of the Esports Club at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Ho Chi Minh City, shared: “I am very happy to attend this year’s UEC event. The check-in booths, especially the Harbor Room, are very attractive. This is truly a very beneficial and meaningful activity for the gaming community among students today.”
