Games have so much freedom. You can go anywhere you want.

Respawn 4.0 was a virtual mobile-gaming championship organized by the Sports and Recreational Activities Avenue in collaboration with the Finance Committee of the Rotaract Club of University of Sri Jayewardenepura. The project was commenced targeting COD-Mobile players and was conducted aiming to provide an entertaining time to both Rotaractors and Non-Rotaractors who display an interest in e-sports.

We targeted an audience of eight teams, with a team carrying four members each. In conducting the project’s PR campaign, we managed to publish appealing posts and videos from the initiation of the project, which gained the attention of many e-sports fans, enabling us to achieve our target within a few days of registration opening.

Registrations were opened on the 11^th of May 2024 after which we announced an attractive prize pool for the teams emerging as champions and runners-up of the tournament. In addition, an award was also announced for the best player of the tournament.

The competition was held virtually on the 18^th of May 2024, which witnessed the enthusiastic participation of eight teams that battled energetically against one another to claim the title of Champions of Respawn 4.0. 

After intense battles, Team TFK emerged as the Champions of Respawn 4.0 while Team COD Gang emerged as the Runners Up of Respawn 4.0. Tharindu Marasinghe from team COD Gang was awarded the Best Player Award of the tournament.  

We believe that Respawn 4.0 was an entertaining and fun filled experience which brought forward a unique opportunity for all of us to witness an e-sports battle as we mostly tend to engage in physical games.
