Berkeley Legends is UC Berkeley's official Riot-sponsored club, founded in 2013 to bring together players of League of Legends, Valorant, Teamfight Tactics, and Legends of Runeterra. All public events, including LAN parties, viewing parties, tournaments, board game nights, and boba runs, are open to everyone regardless of rank. Members who want a closer community can join the paid Champions program, which unlocks family groups, Champion-exclusive socials, a spring trip to Riot HQ in LA, and free tournament entry.
