@CoventryCollege’s new esports team celebrated its second place in a 70 team national competition.

The Digital Schoolhouse Super Smash Bros’ finals were narrowly missed by a group of college game design students – known as the Coventry Crimson.

In a variety of teams and individual duels in the fighting game, the competition saw more than 200 students throughout the UK fighting together.

Coventry Crimson secure their place in the finals with a four-game winning strip before the Coronavirus pandemic, but they had to wait seven months to lose 3-1 to Swindon New College.

Their first-time medal is presented to Coventry Crosshairs, the other College sports team who was also named one of the top four College Esports teams in England following the half-final race for the British Esports Association’s Overwatch Tournament.
