Dorans is the esports student association in Nijmegen, for all Radboud, HAN and ROC students. Besides gaming, we also have informal activities like regular board game evenings and activities organised by our very own Activity Committee, such as ice skating, karaoke or pumpkin carving. We also host our own Dorans weekend, where around 20-30 Dorans members come together each year to hang out without PCs (surprising, we know).
Overall, Dorans is a fun student association for student gamers, based in Nijmegen, where enjoying yourself is more important than skill (but we certainly have a competitive side you can come check out if you’re any good!).
For our main games, Dorans usually tries to follow the trends and look at what is popular with our members. The sidebar on the left can tell you a little more about these games and what we offer for them!
Signups for (new) teams open around the start of the academic year. For more information, our Commissioner of Esports is more than happy to respond to any emails sent to board@dorans.nl.
Ahhh, the classic. Dorans was founded based on the game of League of Legends, hence the name “Dorans”, after LoL’s starting items of Doran’s Ring, Blade and Shield. While Dorans has certainly diversified, LoL is still our most popular game, with the majority of our teams being LoL teams (although VALORANT appears like it might catch up… We’ll have to see!). These LoL teams can participate in the DCLS and compete nationally against teams from other student associations.
Pew pew!
That’s the sound of a good VALORANT game! Besides League of Legends, Dorans also fosters an active VALORANT community, where we create teams and participate in the DCVS.
Come grab your friends (or make some new ones at Dorans) and get your daily headshot count in with your favourite agent (Neon👀)!
With Rocket League being a part of Dorans since its launch, it is a true staple game within our organisation. With players ranging from bronze to SSL, there is space for players who simply want to play a few matches, as well as opportunities to compete on the international theatre!

At Dorans, we also host our own tournaments, like the Mid-Year Invitational, Rock(e)tober and ARARAM (a fun take on ARAM games), which you can join if you are a member.
Besides tournaments, Dorans also has a community that enjoys LANs, so some gamers gather for those events, if that tickles your fancy. Dorans is even hosting its own (lustrum) LAN in February 2025!
And if none of the games in the sidebar sound interesting to you, but you are a gamer, then you are more than welcome to join and ask around whether there’s any interest in starting up or teaming up for your game.
Besides video games, Dorans is also active in board games and D&D. We have our very own TaCo (Tabletop Committee), which has a D&D team and a board games team. The D&D team occasionally hosts oneshots that are open to our members, and the board games team has regular (weekly or biweekly) board game evenings.
Come join us for an informal, casual and fun evening of board games or D&D!
