Welcome to the homepage for Comal ISD's eSports program. At the surface level, eSports can be viewed as "playing video games", but in Comal ISD, eSports is so much more than that. Teams focus on problem solving and strategy skill management, collaboration, communication, mental and physical health, philanthropy, and real-world skills.

Did you know?
There are hundreds of US colleges and universities offering eSports scholarships.
University of Texas and the Ohio State University are a few of the colleges that not only offer eSports scholarships, but also full degree paths in the industry.
The 2019 League of Legends World Championships had 100 million viewers worldwide (more than the Super Bowl)!
In 2019, Fortnite championships awarded a $3 million prize to the 1st place winner - a 16 year old from Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania.
The industry of eSports is on track to produce over $1 billion in revenue by the end of 2021.
Comal ISD's first eSports college scholarship recipient was SVHS's Dennis Hoehn (center of photo), coached by Sam Pippert (picture on the far right of photo). Dennis was offered over $400,000 for his exceptional gaming talents, but in the end, he accepted a $92,000 scholarship to Bethany College in Kansas to play League of Legends. Even though the professional eSports leagues are tempting, Dennis is thinking about a career in the coaching or teaching fields after he graduates college. We wish Dennis all the best on his college career and beyond!
