Emory and Henry defeated Heidelberg University and the University of Delaware.
The team attributes a growing popularity in gaming to its accessibility.
“I think it’s just become less stigmatized and now people are kind of coming out of the woodwork a little bit to play games,” Director of Esports Nathan Magstadt said.
The team lost 4–3 to Southeast State Missouri University on Wednesday night.
The school will play again next semester.
