Esports at OSU (Oregon State University) – Corvallis, OR, USA

OSU’s student-led esports club with competitive teams, LAN events, and campus gaming lounges. Though OSU doesn’t feature a standalone esports arena like some campuses, the esports community is vibrant and well-integrated into campus life—rooted in both athletic and recreational programming.

At the heart of this scene is the Esports at OSU Club, one of Oregon State’s largest student-run organizations, with over 400 active members. The club fields varsity-level teams in titles such as Rocket League, and competes in national tournaments—including Xfinity’s “Run It Back,” which OSU brought home last year.

Socially and recreationally, OSU offers a dynamic space called MU Lanes & Games, located beneath the Memorial Union Commons. This student-run facility features bowling, billiards, arcade games, Nintendo Switch, VR, and a dedicated gaming lounge with stations available by the hour, making for a casual, inclusive gaming environment.

Additionally, OSU’s athletic programs include intramural esports leagues and tournaments as part of its RecSports offerings—another gateway for both casual players and competitors to connect through gaming.

In this ecosystem, whether you’re a competitor, a content creator, or simply seeking social gaming camaraderie, OSU offers multiple access points: structured varsity participation, club-hosted LANs and events, or relaxed drop-in sessions in a multi-use recreational space.
