"I'm looking for us to finish strong heading into the final stretch of the season," said Director of Esports Alex Madera. "We always expect to do well in the KCAC, as seen by our Call of Duty championship earlier this season and now Overwatch 2 championship just last week. I'm expecting to get another one tonight in the KCAC League of Legends Championships. I'm also looking forward to our Valorant team heading to the CVAL National Tournament, which we are still awaiting to hear about scheduling for that tournament.
