How to Create Your Own Team Gaming/Esports Name

Team names for gaming and esports should suit your team’s interests, be unique to your team, and be memorable.

Create your own esports or gaming team name using the following tips:

• Choose your tone wisely. Do you want a name that’s intimidating, makes your team laugh, or seems disarmingly sweet? Decide with your team what you’d like your name to convey before coming up with any options. This will help you focus and easily eliminate any ideas that don’t suit your team perfectly.
• Get inspiration directly from the games you love. Plenty of inspiration is waiting to be discovered within your favorite games. Whether your team plays one particular game or just has a favorite type of game, you can get ideas from the gameplay itself. Think of characters, game-specific terminology, places within the game, or anything else that relates to your favorites and resonates with your teammates.
• Use words that are competition-related. The purpose of your team is to have fun playing your favorite games — but it’s also to win! Call upon competition itself for inspiration. Look up or brainstorm a list of words related to competitiveness — for each word you find, you can look up synonyms for even more options to choose from. Terms like “battle” and “champion” can form a great basis for your team name.
• If competing, check the rules. Esports events might set restrictions on the type of name you can use for your team — for example, no foul language. Keep the competition rules in mind if you’re using your team name in this environment rather than just for everyday gaming among friends.
