STORM LAKE, Iowa - The Buena Vista University Esports team had a busy week in the Esports room. Rainbow Six Siege continued play in the FACEIT Central League while Madden and FIFA started their first ever competition playing in the National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE) leagues.
On Monday, February 1 the Beavers (0-3) competed against Indiana University (1-2) in Rainbow Six Siege. The Beavers team consisted of players Aaron Plyum, Micheal Melohn,
Jon Flaws,
Dayne Lewis and
Abigail Kraft. BVU has been improving the last few weeks and continued against the Hoosiers. Kraft played well for the Beavers getting a few kills during the match. Plyum is a recent addition to the squad and helped with communication and understating strategies on how to improve. Despite a better effort the Beavers fell to the Hoosiers 7-2 and 7-1.
Also, on Monday the Beavers had three players scheduled to play in their first NACE Playstation Madden match.
Derien Beauregard (0-0) had a bye but unfortunately
Kyle Miller (1-0) and
Nico Flores (1-0) received forfeits due to their opponent not showing up.
On Wednesday, February 3
John Corcoran (0-1) played in the NACE FIFA Playstation league. This was Corcoran's first game as he competed against a player from Southwest Minnesota State University. During the first match Corcoran showed a little rust falling 5-0 but improved in the second match but fell 2-0.
On Thursday, February 4
Tanner Frost (1-0) and
Ramon Garcia (1-0) were scheduled to play in the NACE FIFA XBox league. Again their players did not show up to play so both of them won by forfeits.
