After a successful inaugural season, the Montgomery County Community College Mustangs eSports program is ready to level up by adding new teams and games to its roster this fall.
In addition to “Rocket League,” the mega-popular vehicular soccer video game the team currently has, students will also get the chance to play “Overwatch,” a tactical team-based, first-person game, “League of Legends” a team-based strategy Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, and “Super Smash Brothers Ultimate” a fighting simulator.
“We are excited to broaden our offerings with the addition of these newest esports games,” said Kelly Dunbar, Director of Athletics and Campus Recreation, Intramural Activities. “These games will reach a wide range of students and potential students and we are looking forward to the engagement piece.”
The latest additions will be varsity sports and will have to follow the eligibility process and academic guidelines set out by the college’s current programs.
According to Ryan Plummer, coordinator of Mustangs eSports, the additional games were chosen for their popularity and their ability to allow the eSports program to break into a new genre. They will also allow the program to use its new facility to the fullest.
