AMPVERSE DMI has announced Samsung as the official title sponsor for College Rivals Season 3, with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra set to be integrated across all on-ground gameplay and content activations.
This season marks a significant expansion for College Rivals, with the tournament reaching more than 70 colleges across 20 cities. The new edition will feature additional qualifiers along with fresh team-based BGMI formats, raising the level of competition and enriching the overall participant experience.
Collegiate tournaments continue to play a vital role in identifying emerging talent while also serving as a proving ground for flagship technology, tested under real-world competitive conditions.
Samsung India vice president of MX Business Aditya Babbar said, “Samsung has consistently delivered powerful devices for demanding gameplay. The Galaxy S25 Ultra raises this standard with blazing-fast performance. Its 6.9-inch immersive Dynamic AMOLED 2x display with anti-reflective coating and 120Hz refresh rate caters to gamers who seek the best. We collaborated closely with Qualcomm engineers to customise the Snapdragon® 8 Elite chip for exceptional speed while preventing overheating during intense gaming sessions.”
Ampverse co-founder and chief executive officer Charlie Baillie shared, “As competitive gaming becomes integral to youth culture in India, Samsung’s technology sets a new benchmark for campus esports. By introducing student gamers to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, we are strengthening the talent pipeline, elevating grassroots competitiveness, and creating an aspirational platform for India’s next generation of esports athletes.”
DMI Group co-founder Shivashish Chatterjee added, “We are excited to extend our deep relationship with Samsung to the College Rivals platform. As a committed supporter of the rapidly growing esports ecosystem in India, we look forward to the day when a million college students across the country have a path to discovery and stardom on College Rivals.”
