For the first time in its eight-year history, the Amazon UNIVERSITY Esports Masters (AUEM) finals will be held in the UK. Better yet, they’re coming to Confetti! The live finals will take place on Saturday 8 July at Confetti X, our state-of-the-art esports complex in Nottingham.
Hosted by Confetti in partnership with NUEL and GGTech Entertainment, this event is the conclusion of an academic year in which over 10,000 players from over 1,000 universities in 21 countries competed to make it to this final stage of the competition. The finals will take place live and in-person at Confetti X in what promises to be a spectacular day of competitive video gaming.
In a year of firsts, not only is it the first time in the eight-year history of the AUEM that the finals will be held in the UK, it’s also the first season of the AUEM to include teams from the Middle East and Africa. The live finals will feature popular esports game titles, League of Legends, VALORANT and Rocket League, with the winners crowned this season’s European University Champions.
