Sign-up options

There are two ways to create a C3 Esports account:

Sign up with Discord

Recommended. Discord is required to compete anyway — signing up this way links your account automatically and skips a step.

Sign up with Email

Use an email address and password. You’ll still need to link Discord later before you can participate in matches.

  1. Go to c3esports.com/auth/register.
  2. Click Continue with Discord.
  3. A Discord authorization prompt opens — click Authorize.
  4. You’re redirected back to the platform and your account is created instantly.
  5. Proceed to set up your player profile.
Make sure you authorize with the Discord account you actually use for gaming. You cannot change your linked Discord account later without contacting staff.

Sign up with email and password

  1. Go to c3esports.com/auth/register.
  2. Enter your email address and a strong password.
  3. Click Create account.
  4. You are logged in immediately — no email verification required at this step.
  5. Next, link your Discord account before you can check in to matches.

.edu verification

To compete in C3 Esports you must verify that you are a currently enrolled college student. We use your .edu email address to confirm this.

How to verify

  1. After creating your account, go to Profile → Edit.
  2. Find the .edu Verification section.
  3. Enter your college .edu email address and click Send Verification Email.
  4. Open the email and click the confirmation link.
  5. Your account is marked as verified and you’re eligible to join a team and compete.
You must complete .edu verification before a team manager can add you to an active roster. Start this process early — emails may take a few minutes to arrive.

My .edu isn’t being recognized

Some schools use non-standard email domains. If your verification email doesn’t arrive or your domain isn’t accepted:
  1. Join the C3 Esports Discord.
  2. Open a support ticket in the appropriate channel.
  3. Provide proof of enrollment (acceptance letter, student ID, unofficial transcript, or class schedule).
  4. A staff member will manually verify your account.
