Nevada Esports collegiate team recruitment is open for Fall 2026.
We field seven competitive teams representing the University of Nevada, Reno: League of Legends, Valorant, Rocket League, Marvel Rivals, Overwatch 2, Smash Ultimate, and Team Fortress 2. Roster spots are earned through tryouts, and the pipeline is open now.
Roughly where we're aiming: League of Legends Diamond I, Valorant Ascendant, Rocket League Grand Champion I, Marvel Rivals Grandmaster, Overwatch 2 Diamond with Master preferred. Smash Ultimate and Team Fortress 2 have no ranked ladder, so those go by bracket results and league division.
These are goals, not cutoffs. Nobody gets cut for sitting below one, and a player who is a rank short and climbing is still worth trying out. The commitment is up to 10 hours a week of scheduled team time during the season plus your own ranked play, and we schedule around the availability players give us. Students first. Trying out costs nothing, and not making a roster changes nothing about your standing in the club.
