The Loy Norrix E-sports Club is a place for students who want to experience competitive online gaming, or who just want to hang out and enjoy playing games. We participate in structured seasons against other schools in the state, playing games like Rocket League, Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, Overwatch 2, Fortnite, Smite, and Valorant. We also try to engage with the rest of the student body by running tournaments in Super Smash Brothers, Pokemon Showdown, Chess, Mario Kart, basically any game where we think that there is broader student interest, but they don’t want to participate on a more regular basis.
We compete with other schools in the Michigan High School E-sports Federation (MiHSEF). This is a collection of 67 schools throughout the state.
Competitively we play Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, Valorant, League of Legends, Rocket League, Overwatch 2, and Smite, but many of our members play other games as well

Overwatch 2 is a free-to-play, team-based action game set in the optimistic future, where every match is the ultimate 5v5 battlefield brawl.
Players are split into two teams and select a "hero" from a roster of 35 characters. Characters are organized into a "damage" class, responsible for offensive efforts; a "support" class, responsible for healing and buffing; and a "tank" class, responsible for the team's protection. Each character has a unique set of skills, made up of active, passive, and ultimate abilities. The game primarily centers on player versus player (PvP) combat across several different modes and maps.
Rocket League is "soccer, but with rocket-powered cars".
The game has two teams of three players per team that use rocket-powered vehicles to hit a ball into their opponent's goal and score points over the course of a match. It features customizable vehicles that allow players to perform tricks, trigger explosions, and activate ‘boosts’ that help them hit the ball and score.
SMITE is a team based third person MOBA featuring legendary mythological icons. Wield Thor’s hammer, turn your foes to stone as Medusa, or flex your divine power as one of 100+ playable Gods. No matter your skill level, SMITE has something for you!
The goal of each game is to destroy the opposing team's Phoenixes and the Titan, a giant warrior who must be defeated to win the game.

Valorant is a 5v5 tactical "hero shooter" where each match of the game goes up to 25 rounds, with the first team to win 13 rounds emerges as the victor.
At the start of every match, players pick from a pool of characters (called agents), each with their own special abilities. Both teams share different pools, so it is possible for there to be the same agent on opposing teams in the same game.
Super Smash Bros Ultimate crew battles are new for 2022!
A crew battle is when two groups of Smashers face off in a series of 1v1 matches. Rather than everyone fighting against each other round robin style, both crews have a set number of “stocks” that are divided among all the members of each crew; for example, if a team starts out with 12 stocks and has three players, each player will have four stocks.
