“Esports taught me that the best ability is availability. You can make it as far as you want if you have passion, and networking can lead you to incredibly talented people who are eager to help you.” -Joe Athanasiou
About Fresno State Esports
At Fresno State Esports, we pride ourselves on being more than just a competitive gaming organization. Our community is vibrant and diverse, made up of students who not only excel in their chosen games but also in academics, leadership, and personal growth. Since our launch in 2020, we’ve grown into a seven-time award-winning program, constantly redefining what’s possible in collegiate esports.
What sets us apart is our commitment to innovation, diversity, and a strong sense of community. While many organizations focus solely on competition, we aim to create a holistic experience that empowers students to develop real-world skills through leadership, production, and networking—skills that extend beyond the gaming arena.
Success and Growth
Our success isn’t just measured in trophies, though we’ve had our share of those! From an undefeated NECC championship in Rocket League to fostering a thriving community of over nearly 100 members, our growth since 2020 is a testament to our dedication. Our teams compete in Valorant, Rocket League, Overwatch, and League of Legends, alongside an academy Valorant team, Fresno State Iris, which uplifts female and nonbinary players.

Our Experiences
“Fresno State esports has allowed me to become a part of a community of others who want to excel and make the best versions of ourselves and in the process I made amazing friends for life” -Karsten Anderson
“Esports became a true experience of learning the ins and outs of the industry. Being able to create a hands-on experience and learn stuff was a major catalyst to what led me to want to pursue my career path. A scholarship would have helped majorly with the amount of time I invested in the program. Justifying what I spent essentially as a second job to my family and showed how esports was viable as a start towards my career path.” -Ricky Oaks
