E-Sport Team

Hello, my name is Fatih Furkan MENGİ. I am a 4th-year student in the Physical Education and Sports Teaching Department at Balıkesir University. I am also the captain of our university's E-Sports Team. Our university team, under the name of E-Sports, was established in 2022 by our coach Alp Kaan KİLCİ. We currently have 5 active players in our team. Together with our 5 players, we strive to represent our university in the best way possible. We usually gather on campus with our teammates and coaches to discuss how our training sessions will progress and how we can advance in this process. Currently, we have 5 active players in our Valorant team. With a minimum requirement of 5 players, we can have up to 8 players including substitutes. We currently have 5 active players. Since we have 2 active tournaments throughout the year, we have to keep ourselves constantly prepared. Therefore, we continue our training sessions regularly. We continue our training sessions both individually and as a team throughout the year. There is a fixed tournament organized by the Turkish University Sports Federation every year. We, as all universities, participate in this tournament and compete against each other. Last year, we became the champions in the first e-sports tournament organized by the Turkish University Sports Federation. All students at our university are eligible to join our team. Another requirement we seek is for them to have reached a certain level in the game we play. We can measure and evaluate this through our internal training sessions and make recruitment decisions accordingly. Being involved in e-sports and actively playing in the e-sports team has improved my personal communication skills. Moreover, I believe that it taught me a lot about team spirit, teamwork, and acting together for everyone in the team. I wish all students who will take the university entrance exam success. You are all welcome to Balıkesir University and our E-Sports Team.
