At the British School of Bucharest, we are excited to embrace the rapidly growing world of esports, a field that combines competition, strategy and collaboration while preparing students for success in both academics and their future careers. Here, esports is not just a game—it’s a platform for learning, growth and preparation for the challenges of the future. Esports is far more than just entertainment—it’s an opportunity to develop a wide range of transferable skills.
The Benefits of Competing in Esports Teams
- Foster teamwork and communication: Collaborate in real-time to achieve shared objectives, enhancing leadership and problem-solving abilities under pressure.
- Develop strategic thinking: Navigate complex, fast-paced scenarios that require quick decision-making and adaptability.
- Build resilience and self-discipline: Cultivate a strong work ethic through consistent practice and learn to manage both success and setbacks with confidence.
Opportunities to Compete
At BSB, students have the chance to showcase their skills through various esports competitions and events. Our teams regularly participate in prestigious tournaments such as the COBIS x Daigon Esports International Competition, where they compete on a global stage. Additionally, students can engage in the Esports House Competition, fostering friendly rivalry and teamwork within the school. Whether through large-scale tournaments or internal events, our programme offers exciting opportunities for students to challenge themselves and grow as part of a team.
Esports is about more than winning; it’s about collaboration, innovation and striving for excellence together.
