Esports Earns Third National Divisional Championship

Truman’s esports team earned their third national divisional championship during the fall 2023 semester.

Esports had two “Super Smash Bros” teams, purple and blue, with the blue team going the entire season undefeated. Blue team finished the semester with a thrilling victory against North Central University. They began the best-of-three match with a loss, but battled to take the championship to the final game. Performances by players Peter “yolo” Guidry and Zach “dmlol” Miesner ended the game that made Truman national divisional champions for the third time. The other members of blue team are Cam “Inaba” Horosewski, Ethan “J3t” Becher and Noah “cobermai” Higgins.
