Minnesota State University Starts A College Esports Program


Midwestern colleges and universities are making waves in the college esports world. Teams like Northwood are winning Overwatch tournaments. Akron, Ohio State, and Mizzou are some of the best Rocket League teams in the land. And more and more programs are starting in the region. Minnesota State University is the next institution to throw its name into the esports hat. We got a chance to talk to Jacquie Lamm, the head esports coach for MSU, on what it’s been like starting a program post-COVID and how they plan to compete.
