CSC eSports to compete in RMAC Soccar Invitational

CSC eSports team will be competing in the first of its Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) Soccar Esports Invitational, March 2 and 3. 

The CSC Rocket League team consists of Markus Ramsey, freshman of Minden;  Aaron Gavillet, sophomore of Buffalo, Wyoming; Joshua Kruse, junior of Gurley; Ryan Sparrow, freshman of Brighton, Colorado; Alex Ross, junior of Gardena, California and Jesslyn Jindrs, of Rapid City, South Dakota.

“I think it’s great to see, its a good step for eSports in general to see it recognized by the actual athletic conference we are in,” Drew Kurtenbach, junior of Rapid City, South Dakota said. “As far as prepared, we are doing everything we can. We are just not on the same level as some of the other schools especially schools like Mines that have had five years of eSports programs where they have been building these teams up. It’s not to say that our players are not putting in the right practice, it’s just a matter of time and building an eSports program to be able to compete on that level.”

The double elimination tournament will begin with Gameplay March 2, the Upper, Lower and Grand finals will follow on March 3. The tournament will begin at 6 p.m. both days. 

Athletes from 15 RMAC schools are eligible to enter including Adams State University, Black Hills State University, Chadron State College, Colorado Christian University, Colorado Mesa University, Colorado School of Mines, Colorado State University Pueblo, Fort Lewis College, Metropolitan State University of Denver, New Mexico Highlands University, Regis University, South Dakota Mines, University of Colorado Colorado Springs, Western Colorado University and Westminster College.
