In a thrilling display of skill and teamwork, the ICC Esports Overwatch team secured victory at the NACE Open Plus Division 6 Championship Finals on Tuesday, December 5, with an impressive 3 – 0 triumph.
This success followed a successful Saturday at the Wildcat League hosted at Kansas State's Student Union, where Independence, Highland, Coffeyville, and Pratt converged for the final playoffs. ICC Esports emerged triumphant, clinching first place trophies in Overwatch, Call of Duty, and Mortal Kombat. Smash Bros claimed 2nd place, while Fortnite secured a respectable 3rd place.
"It was an incredible opportunity for all my teams and coaches to showcase their hard work in an environment brimming with competitors and fans,” explained Kealan McCutcheon, Head Esports Coach at ICC. “I can't emphasize enough how proud I am of each team at ICC and the dedicated effort they put in this semester to reach this point. Beyond the victories, there were moments of laughter and camaraderie. I believe this will be a cherished memory for these students when reflecting on their college experience—the most rewarding gift we, as coaches, can offer."
