Nikola Stolnik, CEO of Good Game, commented: “Superology and Good Game are giving students a chance to try out a new communication platform – esports! Students of technical universities will have the opportunity to create new connections in one of the fastest-growing branches of the entertainment industry. We’d love it if a project like this was available when we were students, but luckily we are here to give SET to younger generations.”
Good Game is a Croatian esports brand focused on event organising. The company is most known for its networking-focused esports tournament which fields regional tech companies against each other in CS:GO. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the brand shifted its focus on online events and was one of the organisers of the official esports edition of the First Croatian Football league.

Esports Insider says: Although not the first university-based esports competition in Croatia, this tournament has the most support from Croatia’s academic community. Esports at a university level is always a good idea, and it’s good to see Croatia slowly taking steps into building a better esports ecosystem. Cooperating with a sports betting firm like Superology is sure to bring added credibility to this tournament.
