GGs to our Overwatch teams as they played their week 1 Tespa matches! Monarch Blue: 2-0 vs Monarch Silver & 2-0 vs Buffalo Ranch (University of Colorado - Boulder). Monarch Silver: 0-2 vs Monarch Blue & 1-2 vs Streaming Eagles (Edgewood College). Huge thanks to GamerBus and GameOn Gaming Center & our amazing partnership for allowing our players to compete & practice at their esports gym! Since there’s no gaming center at ODU yet, it’s difficult for all our OW players to play together in person. This changed everything! We greatly appreciate it!
