VERITY ESPORTS

Verity is a Locally Owned and Operated E-Sports team that hosts and competes in Tournaments around Utah and the world. Verity has athletes in Utah, Canada, Asia, and Europe! With the future of E-Sports widely impacting our community, Verity is leading the way in inclusion and diversity spreading opportunities to many near and far. A big challenge of Verity is overcoming an old mindset of video games being a bad or lazy activity but that is the furthest thing from the truth.

All across the world, E-Sports teams are competing for hundreds of thousands and at times, millions of dollars which is changing lives. Putting the old mindset of having to be a doctor or a lawyer to be financially well off to bed. E-Sports Athletes are slowly becoming the new rockstars. A lot of kids are fighting bullying by attending these E-Sports Tournaments. Balancing competitive gaming and mental health is a priority with Verity and many other E-Sports Teams.

I also see Verity Esports competing with the highest esports organizations in the world. We have a goal and we have a plan and a great management team and a great competitive roster and I think that is extremely important when you’re on the road to success.

We have our Fortnite athletes competing in the upcoming Cash Cup Fortnite tournament on the 9th of January some of them are also streaming it on twitch as well on the 9th of January our League of Legends team also competes in Proving Grounds Circuit Qualifiers which is something I am extremely excited about. Verity also hosts tournaments and we are doing a Warzone tournament with one of our Local Streamers that goes by the name Gaming with Heidy and a few more down the road that we are super excited to host.

(Q) What’s the biggest misconception in E-Sports?

(A) The biggest misconception is that people rather play videos than socialize with others but gaming is one of the best forms of socializing with friends in 2022. There are people that even make long-lasting friendships from video games. You can also make a living from video games now. Ninja is a prime example of that and 1,000’s of other streamers and competitive esports players.
