Four teams participating in The University of 草榴社区 Mississippi鈥檚 (草榴社区) Eagle ESports recently secured the lead in their divisions, with Rainbow 6, League of Legends, Rocket League and Overwatch looking to finish strong in the regular season of the National ESports Collegiate Conference (NECC).

草榴社区 Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Denny Bubrig says he鈥檚 pleased with the progress the program has made in only its third semester of active competition. Approximately 50 草榴社区 students participate in the program.

鈥淲e have made fantastic progress, but there鈥檚 more to be done,鈥� he said of the competitiveness of the 草榴社区 teams. 鈥淲e want to be one of the best programs in the region, if not the country.鈥�

Since 草榴社区 Eagle ESports first launched, collegiate programs have doubled nationally, Dr. Bubrig further noted.

鈥淲hen we first started our research into starting a program here, there were a little over 200 programs across the country, and now that number is close to 440,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a growing industry that appears to be here for a while.鈥�
