Melco Resorts & Entertainment’s Studio City will play co-host to the 2021 World University Cyber League (WUCL) finals this weekend, part of the company’s commitment to promoting economic diversification via eSports
Co-organized by Melco, Pacilink Sports Culture Limited and Zhuhai Da Heng Qin Group Co Ltd and now in its third year, WUCL is one of the biggest student-oriented eSports tournaments in Asia with representatives from 32 colleges and universities across the country set to gather at the event to compete in games such as “League of Legends”, “Honor of Kings” and “Game for Peace”. The event will be broadcasted nationally on Tencent platforms.
Operated under the Chinese central government’s plans for the development of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, the 2021 WUCL finals will be held under a “one game, two places” model on 4 and 5 December at Novotown in Hengqin and Studio City in Macau.
“To contribute to local economic diversification and elevating Macau’s position as a multifaceted tourist destination, Melco is delighted to be co-organizing the 2021 WUCL Finals with Tencent Sports at Studio City,” said Melco director Clarence Chung.
“We extend our wishes to all contestants and wish the event every success. Melco looks forward to continuing to bring emerging new generation sporting and entertainment experiences to Macau through large-scale eSports events.”
