Congratulations to both teams for qualifying for state, and congratulations again to both teams on their stellar season.

Esports started their week by taking home a 2-0 win in League of Legends.

Aaron Gorley was interviewed about the victory in which he said, “It was thanks to my teammates.” In particular he named Bryson Long and Cole Carrier.

Epsorts then had a tough 3-0 loss to Trinity. They played hard but couldn’t pull through.

But then in their third game, they pulled it back with a 2-0 win in Mario Kart.

As the end of the Esports regular season soon approaches, the team looks to finish strong in these next coming weeks.

On Tuesday, E-sports kicked off their week with two games of Smash Bros. Smash won a relatively close 3-1 win over Holmes High School, and a clear 3-0 win over Covington Latin.

On Wednesday, Rocket League also hopped on the victory bus with a great win over Franklin County.

Finally, to cap it off, Mario Kart won in a competitive game against Central Hardin 2-0. Smash Bros. player Alex Toth spoke confidently on the double header, saying, “The first game was definitely tougher but our fundamentals were key in that victory to carry us into a comfortable second win in the second match.”

The E-sports team looks to continue their big winning streak next week as the November games arrive and postseason approaches.

During this week for Esports, the Rebels were set with matches to go on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdaay.

On Tuesday, the Rebels had to forfeit to West Jessamine in League of Legends due to players being out.

Then the next day, the Rebels once again had to reschedule their Smash Bros match against Holmes due to a player being out with sickness.

However, on Thursday they finally got to the chance to play. Rocket League took on Letcher County, fighting for the number one ranking. Unfortunately, they took a tough loss, ending 3-1 in Letcher County’s favor. After Rocket League’s tough loss, Mario Kart had to show out. Mario Kart came up against Franklin County and won 2-1.

Esports will return next week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, eager to win!
