Video Games & eSports

Welcome to the Derby Raptors Esports Society, the home of casual and competitive online gaming.

We invite all students and applicants who are interested in joining a community of gamers and are looking to take part in the various activities we will be hosting and participating in.

What you can expect during 2025/2026:

  • Competitive university tournaments, hosted by NSE and NUEL.
  • In-house games and mini-tournaments.
  • LAN Events
  • IRL meetups (including but not limited to, Spoons and Maccies).

With 100+ students already verified, and many teams competing on behalf of the Derby Raptors, we are looking to bolster our ranks going forward.

Some of our prior accolades:

  • Derby Gods, winners of the CS:GO Stay at Home Series by NSE, and finalists of NUEL Varsity.
  • Der-B, regional winners of Rocket League NSE.
  • Pyjama Guardians, back-to-back winners of Women's League of Legends by NUEL.

Join our Discord Server and say hi! Even when we are not playing games, we have a friendly atmosphere to hang out and chill.
