RESA hosting ESports tournament at LMC this Saturday

Berrien RESA will host the 2023 Esports League Finals on Saturday, April 15 at Lake Michigan College. RESA tells us the event features high school Esports League teams from across the region.

Throughout the school year, high school Esports teams have been practicing their computer gaming skills and earning competition rankings through Berrien RESA’s Southwest Michigan High School Esports League. This semester’s competition will culminate with the 2023 Spring Finals being held on Saturday, April 15 starting at 8:45 a.m. at the Hanson Technology Building on the Campus of Lake Michigan College in Benton Harbor. (Students will be playing from the Todd Center next door. Spectators will be able to view the play action from the Hanson Center.) Food trucks will also be available at the event beginning at 11 a.m.

Esports is an activity that is getting attention at the national and international levels. Students can go on to play for college teams and may also be eligible for scholarships. The skills used in Esports lend themselves to a variety of careers in the gaming industry such as computer and packaging engineering, graphic design, marketing, software development and communication.
