Ready, set, play!
The newest addition to the Alaska School Activities Association’s (ASAA) roster of extracurricular activities is here: esports—organized, competitive online gameplay between two teams, governed by its own strict set of rules and guidelines—and it is quickly taking Alaska’s high schools by storm. GCI is the official technology sponsor of ASAA, and we are proud to power esports competitions with Alaska’s fastest internet.
We’re committed to delivering best-in-class speed and reliability to more Alaskans.
Every millisecond counts in online gameplay, and when it comes to streaming large amounts of data, your connection is only as good as the network you’re operating on. That’s why Alaska’s gamers rely on GCI’s red Unlimited internet. It offers 2.5 gig speeds, impressive bandwidth, and low latency—a perfect network combination for the esports athlete.
GCI sponsors the gaming lounge at the annual Alaska Federation of Natives Conference, to be held in Fairbanks Oct 17–19, 2019.
A GCI representative will deliver the keynote at the esports panel discussion during the 2020 ASTE Conference.
Through a 10-year, $500,000 commitment by GCI, UAF gamers at the new Alaska Esports Center have access to lightning-fast gig internet speeds as they navigate the competitive landscape.
GCI is the official technology sponsor of the University of Alaska.
GCI sponsors the Providence Extra Life gameathon and provides 1 GIG internet service at the event.
