IUEC 2021 brought in more players than last year with over 1,100 registered participants from across 80 different universities and higher education institutions. This is the 2nd year that IUEC was held online fully due to the pandemic situation, but managed to nearly double its registered player numbers. This year’s IUEC also consisted of 170+ matches, which were played across 16 game titles spanning PC, console and mobile.
From all the universities which participated, only 1 was able to take home the title of IUEC ‘21 Champions – the University of Moratuwa.
