About Us

Our esports program began with participation in the 2020 SUNY Chancellor's Esports Challenge, with 10 teams representing Empire State University. In 2021, we became members of the ECAC esports conference, which includes more than 90 colleges. We hope to expand the number of titles we play in, as well as improve our placement in future competitions!
