NACE UN10N Conference

It’s no secret that CSU esports is absolutely stacked with talent. In fact, at our recent Union 10 conference, CSU was the only school to qualify and bring our teams for each game played at the competition! This includes Valorant, Overwatch 2, League of Legends, and Rocket League. We took 21 of our players on an 11-hour drive across the Midwest to compete at the University of Missouri for the conference’s first LAN event. Our teams faced some of the toughest programs in the nation, including Mizzou, Wichita State, Stony Brook, Western Kentucky and George Mason. 🎮
