About us

The LSESU Gaming Society is an LSESU STARS award-winning society dedicated to bringing together gamers of all levels of experience, across every console and platform. From AAA blockbusters to Goat Simulator, and everything in between, we play all types of games and welcome everyone who plays them or wants to start. Even if you aren't in posession of a console or PC, pull up!.
We'll be holding weekly casual meet-ups throughout the year, and occasionally end up in a pub afterwards. Whether you’d like to bring your own set-up and play with adoring fans, chat about your day (and the games you’re playing to escape from reading & internships), or just use us for our games (I thought we had something special…) sign up and come visit!

Our society has:

  • A Nintendo Switch
  • A Playstation 5
  • And an insane library of games

For esports fans, we are developing competitive teams in the following games: League of Legends, CSGO, Overwatch, Valorant, Siege, Rocket League, and Smash. Of course, if there's enough interest, we can always look at expanding to other esports titles! These teams will compete in inter-university tournaments under the NUEL and NSE leagues for prizes and bragging rights (which may also include free pints at the pub tbc).

We have attended many major UK conventions, including MCM Comic Con and EGX (Eurogamer), with some of our more passionate members going in cosplay.

If you have any questions about the society or our event line-up, please email us at gaming@lsesu.org, pop us a message in Discord, or DM us on Twitter or Instagram.

Membership

As a member, you’ll have access to our consoles and equipment, as well as our vast Steam library containing over 300 games. We also hold regular and varied events (see our events section!) which members are welcome to attend -- there’s always something for everyone!

Additionally, you will be able to participate in our tournaments all year roun

You’ll also get a say in our game surveys, where you get to tell us what games you want to play/you would like the society to invest in.

 

Events and Activities

The Gaming Society already has an expansive online presence within our Discord server! This upcoming term we'll be focusing more on expanding our in-person presence. Here's some things you might get up to:

  • Playing community-based games such as Minecraft, and party games like Jackbox where anyone and everyone can jump in and have some fun (and show off their amazing drawing skills in Gartic Phone or Skribbl.io, because LSE is obviously famous for its Art degree...)
  • Streaming live games for members to participate in.
  • Having a go at community tournaments in a variety of titles.
  • Liveviewing games or international esports broadcasts.
  • Participating in online esports matches or pick-up games.
  • Work with The Three Tuns in the SU building to host Mario Kart and FIFA competitions.
  • Other non game related trips to grab boba or do some karaoke.

Every year we also have our flagship event, the infamous 24-hour Charity Livestream!

  • Over the past years we’ve fundraised for SpecialEffect, a charity dedicated to developing technologies to support those with disabilities to play video games. Last year, we raised over £729.80 in total! 
  • Do follow us on our social media to keep up to date with our latest activities!

Contact Us

We use Discord and Whatsapp as our primary platforms, and Instagram as our main social. We are open to DMs at any time throughout the year and would love for you to get in touch if you have any questions, want to have a casual chat, or want to 3-stock a committee member playing Kirby on Final Destination (no items)/win against a committee member on Mario Kart. (Last one not recommended.)

Please don’t hesitate to simply join our Discord server and ping/DM one of the committee members.

If email is more your thing, contact us on gaming@lsesu.org
