Welcoming enough to show it in its numbers. “Esports, in general, is such a welcoming community,” CBC senior Jake Cole said.  

“Students response to the Esports initiative around the place have been overwhelmingly popular,” Dj Demongey, the director of Esports at CBC said.  “The atmosphere is exhilarating,” Cole said. 

The sport has multiplied by the seasons making it nearly impossible to play solo.  “We went from 20 the first year to about 80 the second year because we expanded from two games to eight games,” Francis Howell Esports sponsor Kris Miller said.  

“I was really excited,” senior Tyler Belina said.  The turnout was similar at Francis Howell Central. 

“You can make the game so strategic and it’s about the teamwork you have to put in to succeed,” Francis Howell gamer, Ryan Caudillo said. “Because it’s not all about one player, it’s not about how good you are, it’s how good you are as a team. It’s not all fun in games though. Esports has allowed students to play competitively challenging their minds and taking them to the next level. 

Demongey said winning titles is just the beginning phase of a league with so many gaming levels. “It was really great,” Belina said. “Being able to say we won the state championship was an honor and pleasure to say and kind of being above the sports players a little bit, like, ha, funny, we actually won the state championship.” For Belina, Esports provides kids who don’t play traditional sports, a chance to compete as a unit. With the same goal as other teams, win state. This is exactly what Francis Howell Central did in a popular video game called Overwatch.
