The Esports Weekly Wrap-Up: Oct 1-Oct 7 

Summer Muster October 6th, 2023

The second week of the Esports program at UI is upon us, and included some big events! 

Monday night’s Rocket League teams had a big audience turnout. Varsity fought tooth and nail against University of Fairbanks, only losing by one point in overtime 2-3. The JV team managed to take down Washington State Gold 3-2 in the first in-person match ever for the program. The WSU opponents were great competition and we were happy to have them over. Thanks Cougs! Overwatch was dealt a win by forfeit from Stone Child College on Tuesday, setting them at 1 win and 1 loss thus far in the season. Valorant dominated once again Wednesday against the University of Redlands. They had a 2-0 match that had viewers on the edge of their seats! Thursday’s Smash Ult match was postponed to Saturday against George Fox and they were also once again dominant in 7-0 and 4-0 victories. Friday night marked the first CS2 match of the season. They started off strong winning 2-0 against Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University of Prescott.

Follow us on Twitch @UIdahoEsports to support these teams and view their latest streams. Everyone is welcome to watch the matches in person 7pm weekdays at the Pitman Center Esports lab located downstairs. Big shout out to our teams, and we’ll be back next week. Go Vandals!
