2026/27 ESPORTS LEAGUE AND SEASON INFO

PlayVS and Fenworks

We are participating in two leagues this year. Fenworks is our platform for Nebraska State Esports or the "State League." PlayVS is our platform for national competitions or the "National League."

Why two leagues?

The state league is great for local competition and possibility of an in-person state championship final. We get to play local schools broken into 4 divisions based on enrollment (like class A, B etc.). We are in Division 1 (the most competitive). The state league is limited in the games it can offer each semester and the number of teams that can participate.

The national league is great for allowing as many teams to participate, in all the games they want, all season long. Our Valorant team, two years ago, was able to travel to St. Louis and play in an in-person national championship! This is a platform that allows us to play against the best in the nation and keep the fun going all year long.

League Registration:

Players need to sign up for both Fenworks and PlayVS and connect the game accounts they are participating in. Links for registration can be found in Google Classroom.

Jerseys:

Jerseys are optional and are able to be purchased HERE. I recommend the gold tier (cheapest), customization is included and it is still a great quality jersey. They take a bit to be made and shipped so I would recommend ordering sooner than later. They look great when we pose for our championship photos :)

Equipment:

All needed equipment is provided, students are allowed to bring their own equipment such as mice, headsets, and controllers as they choose.  We encourage players to get permission to log into their needed apps and services, preferable via a phone app. Sometimes the pc's have issues and a player may need to switch seats on short notice. If they are waiting on a code from a parent to log into epic/riot/steam/etc. this can result in forfeit or the team competing down a player.

Streaming:

Matches are streamed on twitch.tv/gretnaesports  We will stream all games as we are able, I will include which matches will be streamed on the schedule.

Parents, Players, and anyone else with questions, don't hesitate to reach out via email or rooms. aschwaninger@gpsne.org

GAME ON!
