OnePlus concluded the third and biggest edition of OnePlus Campus Dominate 2026, its collegiate esports initiative built around India’s growing gaming community, with the Grand LAN Finale at Bennett University in Greater Noida last week. Over two months, the campaign travelled to 16 universities across 10 cities, heralded on-ground by OnePlus’ 40-foot Gaming Truck, which covered a total of 5,000 km — reinforcing the brand’s commitment to nurturing India’s grassroots esports ecosystem.
With gaming emerging as one of the most vibrant youth subcultures among Gen Z, OnePlus sees an opportunity to engage this community where its passion for gaming begins — on college campuses. Campus Dominate reflects this shift, bringing competitive gaming closer to the next generation of gamers.
The campaign engaged over 100,000 students on-ground and drew registrations from 3500+ teams, including 15,000 Campus Pro players, giving aspiring esports athletes a platform to showcase their talent, compete at a national level, and move a step closer to a professional esports career. After last year’s winners ‘Nebula Esports’, this year’s OnePlus Campus Dominate Champions battled it out for a cash prize of INR 10L along with the OnePlus Gaming Trophy. Defeating 15 other campus champions, Team Levi OP from Bengaluru emerged as the OnePlus Campus Dominate S3 champions.

Commenting on the conclusion of OnePlus Campus Dominate Season 3, Ishita Grover, Director - Marketing at OnePlus India, said: “For Gen Z, gaming has evolved far beyond entertainment into a vibrant youth subculture that shapes how young people connect, compete and express themselves. At OnePlus, we believe in nurturing this community from the ground up, and Campus Dominate reflects that commitment. Expanding to 16 campuses across 10 cities this year has allowed us to witness the incredible talent within India’s collegiate gaming ecosystem. Our vision goes beyond tournaments, we want to create meaningful pathways for aspiring gamers to be discovered and take their first step towards professional esports.”
