How to find your PUBG Mobile Team
Are you a university student and a fan of PUBG Mobile? Are you looking for teammates to fill out your squad? Here's a quick guide on finding players to compete in our PUBG Mobile BUEC tournament!
How to find your PUBG Mobile Team
Get your squad ready to drop in, as this year PUBG Mobile is joining the British University Esports Championship! The tournament will be running across both our Winter and Spring BUEC seasons, so there's plenty of time to establish your university team as the best in the country.
We are partnering up with PUBG Mobile themselves to run this tournament, meaning that there's lots of exclusive prizing up for grabs, including:
- Branded merchandise e.g. PUBG Mobile t-shirt
- Cash prizes
- In-game currency
A quick introduction to National Student Esports (NSE): we're the largest grassroots gaming and esports community in the UK. With our partner British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS), we run the British University Esports Championship (BUEC) every year in the Winter and Spring academic terms - competing earns you points, and every point your university earns gets you closer to being crowned with the prestigious title of "Esports University of the Year".
So, how do you get started?
Step 1: Find the Esports Society at your university
The easiest (and most fun) way to compete in our PUBG Mobile tournament is by joining your university's esports society. They're a great way to meet other PUBG Mobile players in your university, as well as find teammates to compete with! Once you're ready, use the Find University searchbar on our homepage to find the relevant society for you and their Discord, social media and website links.
Step 2: Find your squad
Once you're in your society, it's time to meet other PUBG Mobile players. If you're unsure where to start, reach out to a commitee member and they will help you find the right people!
Step 3: Sign up to play PUBG Mobile
After you've found your squad, create an NSE account and head to the PUBG Mobile tournament page to get your team signed up. And that's it - you're ready to play!
Having problems making an account or have a question? Message one of the NSE Staff in Discord or email us at support@nse.gg, and we'll gladly help.
Pot Noodle Society of the Month - September 2026 - University of Roehampton
The University of Roehampton were selected as September's Pot Noodle Society of the Month for their amazing activities over freshers!
Pot Noodle Society of the Month - September 2026 - University of Roehampton
The University of Roehampton have been chosen as the Pot Noodle Society of the Month for September!
We spoke to their president, Pavlo Perchyk, and vice president, Amin, to find out more...
Congratulations on being selected as our Pot Noodle Society of the Month! Could you tell us a little bit about what Roehampton got up to?
Lots of different things going on then! How important was it to cater to a lot of different interests and activities over the freshers period?
During freshers, we aimed to cater to everyone. We had a wide array of events made to appease every kind of gamer that we could think of. We had members clashing head to head in FIFA and Mario Kart in the library, others furiously grinding ranked in our arena, and some members enjoying a good old session of ROBLOX in our casual room! Of course this isn't EVERYTHING we had going on, but it goes to show the amount of effort we had put in to make our space a safe and comfortable environment for every kind of gamer. :)
Moving on, the NSE Winter split is right around the corner - how has prep for the tournaments been going?
Looking forward to seeing you guys compete! You mentioned an arena: what is this and how does it work with the society?
Our gaming arena is the pride and joy of our society. It boasts of 15 high end PCs available to all of our members for a one time payment for the duration of the whole academic year. The arena is open the whole day and it's there to enable people to come whenever they're free e.g. between lectures, and get some relaxation/quick grinding in. I'm very proud of our arena and I have some extremely fond memories of it during my past 2 years at Roehampton. It's definitely the core attraction of our society, and all of our members cherish it dearly.
On the theme of 'fresh'ers (get it?), and to wrap things up, which Pot Noodle flavour do you think would make the best fragrance and/or body wash?
As for fragrance.. I'd have to go with Bombay Bad Boy. It sounds (and tastes :v) explosive and definitely would be a method to turn heads your way. Granted you may not be able to smell much of anything else, but at least you have an unforgettable scent!
For bath wash however.. I'm going with chicken and mushroom. It's the OG, and has a nice and mellow scent. Definitely the kind of smell you wouldn't mind going to sleep smelling like after a long day.
