Students from the Level 3 Game Design and Animation course at the College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London (CONEL) ran an end-of-term Esports event as part of their course.
The students collaborated to plan and advertise the event which took place within the Creative Media department. After creating posters, banners and sign-up sheets, they hosted the Esports event on 21 December in the games room which forms part of the excellent IT facilities at CONEL’s Tottenham Centre.
Before the event, the students carefully carried out the necessary technical preparations, ensuring that all equipment was ready for event participants by installing games on PCs and updating a range of consoles.
Between 20 and 30 students from a range of Music, Media and Games courses at CONEL attended the event. They were able to socialise and take part in a range of games.
During the Esports event, eight students competed in a Super Smash Bros tournament. The tournament champion was Level 3 Game Design and Animation student, Ashton Panayiotou, who took home a custom-made t-shirt as his prize.
The event proved popular with students and offered them the opportunity to unwind and have fun before the end of term.
