Edulink partners with Phoenix GaminG to present GamerFest 2015

Edulink International Campus, a collaborative campus of the prestigious University of Greenwich and University of Northampton in the UK, was a proud sponsor of the recently concluded ‘GamerFest 2015’ organised by Phoenix GaminG, the best professional eSports organisation in the country.

Phoenix GaminG hosted GamerFest, which is a Ranked tournament under the rules and regulations of the Sri Lankan Gaming Community Gamer.LK, for the second consecutive year. The event was aimed at bringing the gaming skills of Sri Lankans to the limelight in a highly competitive atmosphere. It was a highly successful event as participants and game enthusiasts from all around the country were in attendance and supporters of leading clans were seen cheering and supporting participants during their fierce battles.

GamerFest included world famous games such as DOTA 2, League of Legends, Call of Duty 4, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, Mortal Kombat X, FIFA ’15, HALO 4, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Need for Speed: Most Wanted and TrackMania Nations Forever. All matches were close encounters played with great intensity and the surprise turnarounds and comebacks had the spectators glued to the action. 

Edulink has come forward to be a partner of this massive event because of the close relationship the event has to the futuristic academic vision of Edulink, which strives to provide the best education for Sri Lankan students and prepare them for the challenges of the future. In realizing this vision Edulink provides state-of-the-art facilities and technology to aid education and personal development within the campus, enabling graduates to adapt to any modern environment in their future professional careers.

The event took place at the Edulink International Campus and the action happened in stages on multiple rooms across three floors. Separate arenas were created inside the campus to let the participants play their games peacefully without being distracted by the cheers of one-another. The winners were rewarded with exciting cash prizes and sponsored gifts while those who made it to the top seats were given honorary certificates. Apart from this, all participants were given points according to the ranking system in Sri Lanka, which ultimately decides the best gamers in the island. 

Edulink International Campus offers internal degrees from leading UK universities at Foundation, Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels, across a range of subjects including International Business, Accounting and Finance and Computer Science. 

Phoenix GaminG is a professional eSports organisation established in 2008. It was awarded the overall best clan in Sri Lanka by Gamer.LK, the Sri Lankan Online Gaming Community, for showing exceptional performance and for helping the growth of the local gaming community.
