Unity member Stirling is a college gamer on a mission. With a passion for communal gaming, he dreams of a day when college gaming communities flourish in a way comparable to college sports communities. At his own college, the University of North Carolina, he's set up one of the most organized collegiate gaming communities around with the UNC E-Sports Club.

As the club continues to grow and foster rivalries with other nearby schools, Stirling sets out to dash the stereotype of the awkward, antisocial gamer by proving that gaming can be a social experience enjoyed by regular ol' folk who like games.

Quoth the Stirling: "People involved with the whole E-sports movement just want video games to be seen as a normal hobby. The 'loner nerd' idea that lacks social skills--those aren't the kind of people that get together and watch a tournament and yell at TVs."

Stirling feels that collegiate E-sports is about to see a big-time boom, so the UNC E-Sports Club may be a good model to look to if you're interested in joining the movement.
