Esports certificate templates and badges
3 free designs. A set is one design as a badge, a landscape or a portrait certificate, or all three.
Free for up to 20 recipients a year
A gaming certificate template gives you a ready layout for the moment a tournament ends: a team lifts the title in a school league final, a club wins a LAN event, or a company game night crowns its champions. School and university esports programs, scholastic and collegiate leagues, gaming centres and tournament organisers give these awards to winning rosters, finalists and standout players.
A good esports certificate names the player and the event, and records how the win came about: the game, the bracket format, the series length and the placement. A line on teamwork, strategy or sportsmanship shows that the program values more than the result. A signature from the tournament director or coach makes it official.
The designs come as certificates in A4 and US Letter and as digital badges that players can post on their profiles and verify online.

Esports award wording for players and finalists

FAQ
Questions, answered
Every player on the roster that wins the title, including substitutes who played in the event, and often the coach too. Many programs also give certificates to the runner-up, to an MVP and to a player chosen for sportsmanship.
Put the placement in the title or the program line, such as Grand Final Champion, and the details in a short block: the game, the format (for example double elimination), the number of teams and the final's series length (such as best of five). Add the player's name, the season, the date and a signature.
Usually the tournament director or the league organiser. In a school or university program, the esports coach or program director signs, sometimes with a head of department or athletics director as a second signature.
They can support a player's case. Many colleges run varsity esports programs, and some offer esports scholarships, so a verifiable record of titles and roles adds weight to a player's portfolio next to match footage, rank history and a coach's reference.
Right after the Grand Final, while the win is fresh and the team is sharing clips, or at an end-of-season ceremony. A digital certificate can be sent the same evening, and a printed copy follows for the gaming room wall.
