Austin Bell, founder of Southeast Game Exchange, states, “This year is going to be the biggest and best year yet! I can not wait to see what adding Carolina Games Summit’s professionally run esports tournaments will add to the atmosphere of SEGE. I’ve been told many times that this con just feels different than others, and I think that is because we have grown this community from the ground up!
