Winners of the All-Russian Student League met with the rector

Members of the UrFU eSports team, winners of the sixth season of the All-Russian Student CyberSports League, met with Victor Koksharov, rector of the Ural Federal University. The Head of the university awarded the students and their coach Valentin Kormyshev, Director of the Innovation and Implementation Center "Sport Technologies" with certificates and letters of gratitude.

"This is a huge victory with an outstanding record result. For the university such a victory is a very important indicator, because cybersport in UrFU has been developing not so long ago. We will take steps to ensure that this result is not an isolated one," said the rector.

During the meeting, students discussed with the university administration what is necessary for the development of cybersports at UrFU. After all, there is a trend: applicants choose the university by the presence in it of a strong cybersports team. The team will be supported by strengthening the material base, purchasing the necessary equipment, as well as creating comfortable conditions for training.

At the moment, the team trains at the Engineering School of Information Technologies, Telecommunications and Control Systems co-working room, where cybersports competitions for Ural Federal University students are also held. In the future, there will be even more such competitions, so that students can find opportunities to realize themselves, and the team will be able to select talented young people.
