To make it through some of the toughest competition in our state and come out as the last teams standing says a great deal about their teamwork and coaching. “I want to thank our final teams in both League of Legends (Castle View and Grandview) and Rocket League (Fort Collins and Rocky Mountain) for their outstanding performances. While the teams that played tonight are representing their schools, it’s not a far reach to see how they are representing the future of the sport,” said CHSAA assistant commissioner Rashaan Davis, who oversees activities. “The future of eSports in Colorado is very bright. College teams from several in-state schools were in attendance and set up tables to watch the action and chat with players about their teams.Ī process close to eight years in the making, eSports will complete its third pilot season in the spring and then it will become an official CHSAA activity in 2022. They just needed someone, some place, to be able to recognize all the work they’ve been putting in and give them that one place to compete.”Īlready with over 200 teams and as eSports rapidly becomes more pervasive at the high school level nationally, the scene at events like Friday’s championships is beginning to change.Īt Localhost, the largest in-person gaming facility in Colorado, players from teams at other schools came to watch and cheer for the final four teams as their competition was displayed on a big screen with live commentators and instant replay. You open the doors and the kids will come in and participate. It’s also just been about opening the doors. “To get eSports to the CHSAA level has taken a lot of hard work by a lot of people. “You watch the kids come in here in the building and be awed by what’s going to take place today and seeing them get to compete against each other face-to-face is pretty amazing stuff. “Overall, it’s a great milestone for us to be able to recognize all these kids who spend hours working on this and really trying to show off something that they love to do is just a great moment,” CHSAA eSports committee chair Shawn Collins said. It was not only an excellent day for the teams competing but the event itself and the energy surrounding it provided a glimpse into just how rapidly esports is growing and what the future might look like at the high school level once the activity officially becomes sanctioned by the Colorado High School Activities Association next year.
