ISU Esports

Let the Games Begin

Esports, or electronic sports, is the term used to describe organized competitive video gaming, which is typically played in a multiplayer setting as part of a league or tournament. Esports has the potential to shape students' knowledge, skills, and future employment opportunities in careers spanning the tech industry, communication, content creation, software and network engineering, and sports management.

With competitive gaming on the rise worldwide, ISU is excited to join the growing competitive environment. ISU Esports began in 2024 with competitive teams in Overwatch, Rocket League, and Valorant. Since then, we have added Super Smash Bros and Call of Duty. If you are interested in competing, please complete the form below. 

We are opening a brand new Esports arena in Fall 2026 thanks to our sponsor Direct Communications. As a celebration for our grand opening we will be having open play hours where anyone who is interested can use our systems. We currently have more than 30 computer setups and a TV station with an Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PS5 available. See our Open Play tab for more information.
