Marshall’s casual gaming club will be merging with the eSports program to form a single gaming club this week.
“The idea was to cater to casual video game lovers while (also emphasizing) the competitive side of gaming,” said President Cameron Campbell of Level Up! Gaming Events, which will combine with Esports Club Association. “We realized there’s a lot of overlap between those two communities, and there isn’t any reason for there not to be a community comprised of both casual and competitive players. Plus, both parties benefit. Level Up! is getting access to more resources and staff and the ECA is becoming the centralized gaming community for Marshall.
