My Project

Well, over the last 3 years our team has grown and grown and grown some more. The hardest part of running the team is finding funds to purchase equipment to keep up with the ever-changing standard.

These three new desktops allow us to double the size of our Rocket League team!

The peripherals help keep us competitive, but in reality it all comes down to the hardware in the desktop, and the screen to make sure there is little to no lag. This equipment doubles how many competitors we can have during the week for Rocket League.

The gaming mouse, controllers and keyboards, give the players options that fit their play style the best. The headset and stand allow us to become fully engulfed in our game.

eSports is growing and so are the prizes that come with winning. Our students can go on to play in high school and potentially college and earn scholarships all due to their early start in the games they love.
