The newly developed sport uses video games to test several skills such as hand-eye coordination, decision making and response to stress. Players compete through video game competitions for a cash reward. For WKU students this is potentially thousands of dollars in scholarship money.
“We hope to attract a variety of players ranging from enthusiasts to those who aspire to make it onto a professional team,” Coach Andrew Renfrow said.
The university’s eSports team originated from two League of Legends teams with international students from China, Chile, Germany and the United Arab Emirates. The program prides itself on diversity and hopes to recruit large numbers of international students.
Students can apply their degree programs, such as marketing, sports management and journalism, to the sport. The eSports program offers students in those departments graduate assistant positions and intern positions to gain further experience.
“This is a unique opportunity to further your education and to gain exposure to pursue professional eSports,” Renfrow said.
An arena is underway in the university’s Garrett Conference Center for players to compete in their online matches. The regular season will begin in the spring and the arena is expected to be finished by that time.
