On Feb. 3, 2020, Fresno State officially introduced its esports program with a launch party in the Bulldog Zone.
Students, staff, faculty and others were in attendance for the unveiling of the first two esports rosters in history. Coordinator of the esports program, Jerry Gomez, opened up the party speaking about the history and his excitement creating the program.
“We are really excited. I think our players got the energy from the Fresno State community,” Gomez said. “I think that this is really going to pump them up to perform very well in their next matches.”
Not only were both the League of Legends (LOL) and Overwatch rosters and coaches were revealed, but the team’s jerseys were also revealed to the public.
