“It is very nice that we have such active young people who find themselves in such an interesting sport as esports. I am proud of the fact that we are probably the only higher education institution in which proper conditions have been created for the esportsmen. Therefore, of course, it should give its positive results.
Regarding the results of this tournament, Polytechnic is in the lead, but objectively and transparently. It is very nice that the students of our university understand, appreciate and fully use the investments made to create such a base, work on themselves in order to use these opportunities as efficiently as possible.
We opened up these prospects for schoolchildren as well. So I want to wish the participants one thing – improve your skills, raise your professional level, do not forget about training and continue to show your skills in esports. And I undertake to support the development of youth sports in every possible way.
It is good that we have such an opportunity – to hold tournaments. I emphasize once again that every event held on the territory of the university is a great expression of sincere gratitude to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Congratulations on the victory, with another good deed in support of the AFU, which brings our Victory in the war closer.

You can come to the university on any day – the students have already finished the academic year, but their training here still continues. The team is very strong, as evidenced by the fact that they participated in Ukrainian championships and all-Ukrainian esports competitions. The university has created all the conditions for the team to train – appropriate equipment, specialized computers, expensive video cards that make it possible to hold competitions and training. Every day, even on Saturdays, students call and ask to open the room so that they can work,” – said Dean of the Faculty of Physical Culture and Sports Lina Rybalko.
