After wrapping up its first season with a conference championship, Transylvania University’s esports program heads into fall competition with a roster that has more than tripled in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pioneers, who won the National Association of Collegiate Esports Overwatch 2 Varsity Plus Division<\/a> this past April, have returned with the same Overwatch 2 gamers minus one graduate. New teams added this year are competing in the video games Valorant, League of Legends and chess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In growing beyond Overwatch 2, the esports program has increased from seven to 26 players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m excited to see the program expand as much as it has,” coach Dylan Osborne said. “Transy esports offers the opportunity for students to form a network with others that share similar interests and learn to accomplish team-based goals in high pressure scenarios.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matches will be streamed on Twitch<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osborne noted the strength of this season’s players. The Overwatch 2 and Valorant teams both placed in a conference with teams that average a diamond ranking (one of the more formidable ratings). The League of Legends team is awaiting placement in a conference because registration is still open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other players are competing in the NACE Collegiate Chess League on Chess.com \u2014 in blitz mode, where they’re under time pressure to make a move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to encouraging teamwork and providing a fun way to get engaged in campus life<\/a>, Transylvania esports teams teach gamers valuable skills they can draw from later on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The joy our players feel by being a part of a team is invaluable to me, but I also believe the coordination and critical thinking they have to apply to their in-game strategies are also teaching them social tactics they may carry into the workforce after graduating,” Osborne said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
