Leveling Up: Esports at Bentley
The Bentley Student Gaming Organization (BSGO) was founded more than two decades ago, when four roommates borrowed computers from the former Lindsay computer lab and put GPUs (graphics processing units) into them to hold LAN (local area network) parties. Today, BSGO is one of the university’s fastest-growing student organizations — with more than 325 members officially registered on campus and about 450 people on its Discord server — and student interest in taking gaming to the next level led to the official launch of Bentley’s esports competitive teams in fall 2023.
