Utilizing its newly launched Virtual Collaboration Center, Georgia Southern University will host a No Builds Tournament featuring Fortnite on Friday, March 29. The event, sponsored by Bulloch Solutions, is the first event of its kind on Georgia Southern’s Statesboro Campus. Students can use the state-of-the-art computers in the Eagle’s Edge Arena and compete with one another for a chance to win part of a $430 prize pool, including in-game currency and Tech Corner gift cards.
Billed as a zero-build, solo elimination race, the competition is open to only Georgia Southern students. But, members of the community and other interested parties are welcome to stop by and watch the festivities as viewing for the event is free and open to the public. You can also catch the event online, streaming on the official Twitch channel of the VCC at https://www.twitch.tv/gasouthern_vcc.
“Opportunities like this are a great way to connect to current and future students at Georgia Southern University. Through our partnership with Bulloch Solutions, we hope to expand our interaction with the community and foster a greater conversation about gaming and esports with students throughout the southeast,” said Michael Murphy, director of Campus Services.
Georgia Southern University works diligently to offer students new and exciting uses of technology that can help them be successful in both their academic and experiential learning opportunities while on campus. The Virtual Collaboration Center is a unique facility, offering the latest and greatest in gaming, but also giving our campus community the ability to reconnect in a post-pandemic world.
