Transylvania University\u2019s Rocket League esports team has qualified for the National Esports Collegiate Conference championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pioneers, who finished first in their division, kick off the national tournament tonight at 8 against Loyola Marymount University. All games will stream live on Twitch<\/a>, with schedule updates posted on the team\u2019s Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rocket League is a \u201cphysics-based game\u201d often described as \u201ccar soccer,\u201d coach Dylan Osborne said. Players use rocket-powered vehicles to hit a large ball into the opponent\u2019s goal, relying on precise aerial control and a lot of practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Transylvania\u2019s final season in the NECC. The program will switch next year to the Eastern College Athletic Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qualification combined fall and winter term results. Teams played a preseason placement tournament, a double round-robin regular season and playoffs. Strong finishes across both terms earned qualifier points \u2014 and placing first after playoffs granted an automatic bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in the top eight schools in the nation right now for our division \u2014 very excited about that,\u201d Osborne said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A win tonight advances the team; a defeat ends the season. But a semifinal loss would allow the Pioneers to play for third place, where scholarship money is on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nationals roster features Nathaniel Hunt, Will Sparrow, Jeffry Todd and Jonah Whitehead (with Ben Matheny and Sarah Beth Martin as substitutes). A total of around 30 Transylvania students compete in games that also include League of Legends, Super Smash Bros., Marvel Rivals and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esports at Transylvania has grown steadily over the past few years, giving students a competitive outlet that mirrors traditional athletics \u2014 and providing a fun way to get engaged in campus life. Read more about the program<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
