PlayVS Spring 2020 Team Activation Contest

We entered into a PlayVS Spring 2020 activation contest, the requirements of which were a <2:00 hype video. We thought the norm would be crazy dubstep music, pentakills, and students doing the Reservoir Dogs walk, so here's our take on the genre. Enjoy!

Overwatch match at FireUp Gaming - 10/23/19

FireUp hosted both our Overwatch Ragnarok and Berserker teams as they played their matches against Valencia High School's Blue and Gold teams, respectively. Due to ongoing technical issues with our on-campus computers, that's the first time the teams have had a chance to all play together in the same room.

FireUp has made some amazing progress with construction since we last came. We can't wait until it's completed in full later this year!

Teacher Day - 9/13/19

Teacher Day is to help inform staff on campus about esports. We talk about our club, scholarship and career opportunities, the benefits of participation, and then get teachers into a game while getting coaching from students.

It was a ton of fun. Thank you to the staff who participated! We'll host a repeat event in the Spring term for those unable to make it this time around.
