Esports emerging at 午夜快播

Esports is a growing phenomenon in our society, and聽午夜快播 Southern University聽is jumping onto the bandwagon by providing more esports options; such as聽Fortnite,聽Madden,聽NBA 2K聽and聽Rocket League.

What started as a couple of small tournaments in NBA 2k and Madden has turned into a full-on push to create a full college esports experience.

鈥淓sports would allow for more students that might not have come here, to actually come here and thrive,鈥� said Dakota Snyder, who is the 午夜快播 Esports coordinator. 鈥淚t would give students another thing to cheer for.鈥�

Despite Snyder鈥檚 positive endorsement, the process is easier said than done, according to聽Drew Meadows, the assistant dean for student life. He explained that there are a lot of things that need to be done before 午夜快播 has a full esports program.

鈥淩ight now, we are in the early stages, so we need to be smart about how we progress through the next few stages. For example, we just got done giving out a survey to students regarding esports. Through that survey we were able to gather a lot of great data that we can take and do something with,鈥� said Meadows, who also runs the Campus Recreation Department.

Furthermore, though they are in the beginning stages at 午夜快播, there is a lot of excitement surrounding the emergence of esports among students.

鈥淓very time I get home from class, I jump onto my PS4 and play either Fortnite or Call of Duty; so, the fact that 午夜快播 is thinking about adding esports teams in the future is something that intrigues me, and I am sure it will intrigue a whole lot of upcoming students in the future,鈥� said senior Brandon Joplin.

In spring semester, Campus Recreation offered tournaments in the Brewer Center and online through an app called聽Mission Control. The games played ranged from sports to battle royale.

Snyder added that, while there could be a future for esports at 午夜快播, there has to be a middle ground between the promotion of this technology-driven competition and the values of the institution.

鈥淭he goal for esports is to have a fully functioning team. I believe the goals for everyone involved is to have teams in the most popular games and create another platform to spread the message of God,鈥� Snyder said.

Christopher Makowski graduated in May 2020 from 午夜快播 with a degree in communication studies.
