Level up with 5 Esports Championship Rings for 2026 National Video Game Day

July 8, 2026 — Esports doesn’t get a trophy case. It gets a scoreboard, a Twitch chat, and a team that grinds scrims until 2 a.m., chasing a title most people will never see them win in person.

But make no mistake, the moment a team clinches an Esports Championship hits exactly as hard as any buzzer-beater or Game 7.

If you want to understand what a Legacy looks like in collegiate esports, start at St. Clair College.

Back in 2016, Esports Director Shaun Byrne pitched a collegiate esports program to St. Clair’s senior leadership and asked them to bet on something that didn’t really exist yet in Canada. They said yes.

Nearly a decade later, the Saints aren’t just Canada’s first collegiate esports program — they’re one of the most decorated programs on the continent.

The résumé speaks for itself. A five-team sweep of the Canadian Esports Nationals in Fall 2025. Back-to-back Collegiate Rocket League North American Championships. A first-ever College Call of Duty League title in May 2026.

Also, in April 2026, the Saints Call of Duty squad anchored by Grand Finals MVP Rodrigo Armendáriz, defended their throne with a fifth-straight NACE North American Championship, sweeping Cumberland University 4-0. That’s five straight years at the top of a sport where nobody stays on top for long.

Shenandoah’s Rocket League team went 4-1 over Southern Nazarene University to bring home the program’s first-ever National Esports Collegiate Conference DIV National Championship.

The Ring is crafted in white durilium with the Shenandoah logo in navy blue enamel, surrounded by red, clear, and blue stones and a “DIV National Champions” title. A 3D esports controller and honeycomb texture on the shoulders finish the look — proof that a first title deserves a ring that looks like nothing else in the case.

Crete-Monee didn’t just win the 2025 IHSA EA Sports FC State Championship — they ran the table, going 5-0 to take the top spot in the state.

The Ring pairs white and golden durilium with the Crete-Monee logo in yellow and blue enamel, white stones around the crest, and blue stones tracing the edge. A 3D esports controller on the shoulder makes it unmistakably a gamer’s ring that is built for a State Champion.

Five programs. Five games. Five very different roads to the podium.

A five-year dynasty at St. Clair, a first title at Shenandoah, a hard-fought bracket run at Maryville, an undefeated state run at Crete-Monee, and an inaugural season for the record books at Missouri State West Plains.

Esports Champions train just as hard, compete just as hard, and deserve to be remembered just as much as any Champion on a court, field, or ice. Baron® makes sure they are.
