Ultimate Gaming Championship (UGC), a leading esports events company, was founded by members of the gaming community to provide cutting-edge production and exclusive media content. With an unmatched team of industry veterans and creatives, UGC is able to continually innovate the esports atmosphere from multimedia broadcasting, live tournament operations, digital infrastructure, merchandising, and content management.
Since 2004, when founder Matt Jackson developed his own local area network (LAN) center to host local tournaments, UGC has thrived on the idea of innovation and delivering experiential events to its attendees and live stream audiences.
In 2014, the UGC formed an official structure to support the global community of professional players and a tournament structure utilizing emerging technologies. Events now feature three-dimensional printing, digital fabrication, prototyping, customization and broadcasting. The UGC understands the esports ecosystem only exists because of community involvement; therefore, it provides the community with features currently not offered by any other tournament organizer.
As the fastest-growing brand in the industry, the UGC does not rest on its laurels. Instead, the UGC is committed to developing an online matchmaking and ranking structure aimed to bring together novices, intermediates and professionals alike. This online platform will streamline the process for amateurs to become recognized on the global esports scene. In an effort to broaden awareness of the industry at-large, and galvanize the UGC’s commitment to expanding the reach of esports for future generations, the UGC has initiated a series of collegiate events and marketing campaigns. From a media perspective, the UGC continues to devote resources to the production of on-demand, original content to create esports awareness and ensure the consistency of the UGC’s brand.

As the events and tournament organization arm of The Ultimate Gaming Championship, UGC Events strives to put on the best event possible every time out. By leveraging our highly experienced staff, our industry leading equipment pool and always staying true to our vision of esports, we ensure that every UGC Events production is not just an event but an experience.
