our programs

Geniuses come in all forms. But the best kind are Evil. That’s why we offer two internships that teach diabolical disruptors like you how to make your mark, at one of the top organizations in a multibillion dollar industry. (That last part’s for your parents.)

Every empire starts with an Ingenius idea. Team up with the greatest minds in marketing to create and execute boss-level concepts. Live streams, video production, social media, you’ll get into all of it.

It’s hard to believe how far the Genius League has come in less than a year. Let’s take a moment to admire our baby and say “awwwww…some” by checking out some of our greatest accomplishments as we get ready to amp them up in 2021.

A Collaboration
in non-endemic Marketing

Esports goes beyond fun and games. The Esports 101 series was created and produced by our marketing interns to teach the world about this rapidly growing but misunderstood industry.

CREATING CONTENT
FROM START TO FINISH

We all start somewhere in our path to gaming. That’s why Swim teamed up with our Ingenius Creators to create this Mentor series and teach new players how to be a pro.

Coordinating collegiate tournaments

Compete in our tournaments to win cash and other prizes such as private sessions with our leaders in gaming, Greg Kim and Andrew Barton.

interviewing industry professionals

Becoming an Evil Genius requires equal parts nature and nurture. Our Genius Seminars show you how the pros tackle day to day operations in the world of esports.

COLLEGIATE DISCORD

OUR Community

Our Genius League community is more than one thing. From various competitive tournaments to networking nights with industry professionals, we are your source for competitive and professional development.

Represent your school, win cool prizes, and show off your skills. We’ll sort you into a faction headed by a Brand Ambassador who will lead you in the fight.

Gaming is fun, but it’s a lot of work. We’ve hosted 100+ collegiate events to help our geniuses with networking and content creation. But sometimes, we’ve got opportunities to just play.

The best geniuses ask for help. Join our Discord to get access to industry leaders who will answer your questions and even help with a resume review.

We’ve been in the game a long time (okay, Boomer). That’s how we get great minds to share their industry knowledge, in seminars and podcasts, in public and private sessions on our Discord.
