The Varsity Esports Teams discussed the current state of the team and their excitement for the upcoming season which begins Tuesday. Although the team has been in existence for about three years, this is the first year it will be part of the Missouri Valley Conference, rather than remaining a club team.
Jeremy Onstott, captain of the Overwatch team, shared his anticipation for the upcoming matchup against Illinois State.
“Their roster is made of lots of former pro and semi-pro players, so it is super cool to compete against them,” Onstott said.
Missouri State and Illinois State both currently play in the MVC.
