Electronic sports, or esports, has become one of the most popular sports in the world, and campuses such as Dickinson State have become interested in the product, attracting the attention of students. They can either play just for fun, or level up and play for the Dickinson State Blue Hawks esports program.

With this season being the inaugural season of the esports program for Dickinson State, the program currently has four competitive teams, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, Fortnite, Rocket League and Apex Legends.

“I just think it’s the way of the future,” Josh Nichols, the coordinator of the esports program, said. “It’s such a huge industry, it’s such a big growing sport and I think people are taking it more seriously as it goes on.”
