North Bergen's e-Sport Team Prevails!

From North Bergen School District Facebook Post May 2019:

On Friday, May 17th, The North Bergen eSports teams competed in the first ever eSport tournament held at the Helix facility. NBHS entered two teams fourth in both Overwatch and League of Legends. Our teams competed against High Tech High School, Memorial, and Weehawken in bracket competition. In Overwatch one of our Bruins teams went undefeated to claim 1st place and the second Bruins team claimed to third place after a defeat to High Tech twice. In League of Legends again the first Bruins team went undefeated taking first place and the other team took third after two losses.

During the competition which was cast live on twitch, colleges such as Rutgers and NYIT were present scouting a few of our players and allowing the coaches, Mr. Ensman, Mr. Enrico, Mr. Estela, and Dr. Keshishian some opportunity to network. We were even offered the opportunity to scrimmage the NYIT team and hopefully, we can get the opportunity to do the same with Rutgers, who just won the collegiate championship in Houston.

Overwatch Players: Rupert Reeves, Gabe Rodriguez, Noraida Diaz, Helder, Jason Quintana, Irvin Acevedo, Emmanuel Manchego, Danny Loja, Alexis Bourbon, AJ Pierson, James Contreras, Kevin Garrido.
