On Saturday, 31.05.2025, the HWG LU e-sports community was represented at Gaming-Connect in BASF's Feierabendhaus - one of the most exciting networking events for the games and e-sports scene in Rhineland-Palatinate. With our own stand, several gaming stations and plenty of gaming fun, visitors were able to play League of Legends, chat with students or simply immerse themselves in the world of e-sports.
A special highlight was the 2vs2 show match on the main stage, in which our HWG team came out on top with a commanding 2:0 victory against the Uniliga - excitement and applause guaranteed!
In addition to the gaming focus, networking with the games industry also took center stage: representatives from GameUp Rhineland-Palatinate, the state-wide network for promoting the games industry, and GamesAhead, a platform for supporting young developer studios, were on site. Several indie developers also presented their current projects and provided exciting insights into their day-to-day development work.
The Gaming Connect offered an ideal platform to make contacts, get inspired and find out more about career paths in the games and e-sports industry. For us as HWG LU, it was a complete success - with many new impulses, contacts and a strong signal for student engagement in the digital space.
We would like to thank everyone involved - and look forward to next time!
