BUCKHANNON, West Virginia – After successful back-to-back seasons, WVWC Esports is proud to announce the expansion of their esports program into a new facility to compensate for the size and demands of an ever-expanding program.
The new facility is currently retrofitted with 20 computers doubling the number of stations from the previous space with plenty of room for continued growth as the program continues to expand. The facility has also been retrofitted with a stage as WVWC esports plans to facilitate esports events in the state for all the up-and-coming high school teams in need of a place to run events. Originally the first college within the state to offer a varsity esports team, WVWC is dedicated to continuing to play a part in the growth and development of esports at all levels across the state.
Head coach Ethan Hayes said, “Everything about the new space is an upgrade. From the size to a new kitchen and especially the new competition stage, its good for my students to see all the hard work they put in paying off for them. I can’t express my appreciation enough to the school for continuing to be so openly supportive of our program at every step of the way.”
While the facility has a plethora of nicknames adopted by students at the moment, sponsorships and naming opportunities are available for the new space. Any interested parties may contact the Office of Development at 304-473-8600.
Additionally, WVWC Esports is recruiting for the next academic year. They are currently recruiting for the following games:
- Valorant
- Apex Legends
- Rocket League
- Fortnite
- League of legends
- Call of Duty
- R6: Siege
- Solo Title
