Does everyone bright side finding the right mix of shots, always.

When I was a freshman, this area used to be available, so I've walked through here and I could probably tell you when my mailbox used to be freshman year.

Not that many colleges actually have an e-sports program because we're in such a great facility.

We have a lot of really good hardware and really good computers, so some people might not necessarily have access to that sort of stuff.

All my life, I've played stuff like Football Cross.

I actually used to play soccer baseball in high school.

I've never played any sport competitively.

I was amazed, so I was like, I want to be a part of it.

I originally decided to come to Mary Wood because I am a swimmer.

I got recruited here by the swim coach.

And now I'm sitting in this chair playing games at college.

E-sports is all season for happens in the fall and spring.

There's 21 players on the actual e-sports program, so we're split up between three teams, which is Overwatch League Legends and Rocket League, even though it would offer us as a sport or a sport.

We're like a hybrid, is what I would say.

We're a hybrid sport.

There's a lot of brain activity going on through.

It's a bit of a time of physicality.

Talk about a quad free big.

Let's keep it off, boys.

It's a lot getting used to like having to flip with your wrist a certain way.

It's a lot more mechanically.

It's kind of like painting a little bit like you got to kind of stay in the lines like Mario when I was doing rugby.

I was physically drained every day because I woke up at 6:00 a.m. to go to tackle practice.

Now I come in at late nights, which I am used to, and I'll be drained mentally.

If I lose your friends, I would.

You would you like ten hours a week at minimum?

So five days a week, two hours a day, usually late at night, just works with all of our schedules.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and then Thursday we have our game and especially if we're going against a hard team that we know will be a competition.

Definitely put an extra an hour and make sure we're, you know, getting ready for that game.

I'm the captain of the Overwatch team.

I'm also a scholar on the team.

We're going to go up right, high ground.

Yes, go to through second.

Don't get over it.

Set it right, right?

Oh, it's textbook.

Oh yes, guys.

I love it.

I love it.

We start researching the players and the maps we're going to be playing.

There's three type of maps that we will compete on.

There's a hybrid map, there's an escort map and then there's a capture map and we come up with strategies to try to make sure that we have the most successful attempts on those maps.

Before I viewed it as solely just for fun, I would play it for like an hour or two and get some relaxation.

Now it's like, OK, if I'm playing this character who I usually play with.

You have to have the synergy with your team, so a lot of it is just progressing with each other and focusing on communication skills.

Well, if I don't go want to one, that's.

Yeah, yeah, it's way better than just playing by yourself or your horse.

Because now, you know, like you're not playing with just someone on the other screen, you're playing with actual people right next one, two, three years ago, but you have to have good chemistry between your teammates.

I mean, immediately when you needed time together, every day you go crystal.

Yes, we do often practice, but we have to get very serious when we need to do it.

Experiencing it with the teammates that you have.

We've got to really close in a very short amount of time.

I remember when we all first met each other, we were all we all really awkward and really, really not keen on meeting each other.

And once we started communicating more research around nicknames for each other and it just clicked.

You want to be able to trust the guy who is sitting next to you.

And I believe like everyone in that room, trust me, I trust every single one of them.

And by the end of the night, we're sitting around talking and it's perfect.

Personally, I think when we're playing at our best, we're the best team.

Right now, we're going up against the number one seed.

They're six and right now we are five and one.

So we're the second seed.

So this is definitely our biggest match of the year.

Thanks transcended play, double jeopardy.

I can play the games for myself, you know, just that simple play for a team playing for the school, representing the school that I chose to do.

I feel like that's just an experience that I'm so grateful that I'm able to have a wife through during that time.

The.

Serious, that's the best we've ever played in.
