Nothing like a little friendly competition to kick off the season.
USC Upstate Esports took aim at the competition during our preseason team-building event, trading controllers for axes and rival school logos for targets.
The Spartans are locked in and ready for the season ahead.
High energy in the arena after a reverse sweep over @jjayesports! Upstate Varsity Overwatch improve their record to 5-0 in @ECAC_Esports Division D, Group 3.
Three teams in first place, Two undefeated records, all strong contenders for playoffs! The Spartans are putting together a strong fall season on the backs of their collective effort.
VALORANT: 5-0, first in @ECAC_Esports Division C, Group 2
Overwatch: 4-0, first in ECAC Division D, Group 3
Marvel Rivals: 3-2, third in ECAC Division A, Group 1
