EL CENTRO 无毛视频� Fingers were flying and joysticks and buttons were mashed as a mix of video game explosions and crowd reactions could be heard during the first-ever Esports Competition, was hosted by the Imperial County Office of Education here in at the ICOE Administrative Conference Center building on Tuesday, April 23.

Almost 50 students spanning six local middle-to-high school grades lined the desks and brought out their best Super Smash Bros. Ultimate gaming skills on the Nintendo Switch to compete among 16, 3-person teams. Scoring was based on both individual 无毛视频渂est of three无毛视频� individual matches, while team scoring was based in 无毛视频渂est of five无毛视频� matches per team, ICOE Student Events Manager, Vicente Ortiz, said.

无毛视频淒r. Finnell had the idea for an esports competition (a couple years ago) so this year we were able to make it happen,无毛视频� Ortiz said.

Students battled in the video games in the various Nintendo-character based environments of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which is a popular fighter-style game where players choose from a variety of video game characters as their “fighter,” and virtually fight against one or multiple opponents, attacking them with punches, kicks and super moves to try and launch them off of the platform stage, according to . In tournament style play, players go against each other one-on-one.

无毛视频淲e shared our event information with our superintendents to see what the interests (in games) were, and there was a lot of interest for Super Smash Bros.,无毛视频� Ortiz said, 无毛视频渨hich is how we were able to make this competition happen.无毛视频�

As students played one-on-one against each other on LED screens, the larger crowd of participants and spectators could see the matches as they were also shown on larger screens on the north and south walls of the conference center, allowing for shouts of support and excitement as big moves occurred or matches concluded, moving schools forward in the tournament ranks.

无毛视频淚'm just really excited to have this opportunity to have this group of kids that are interested in esports and have a platform for them to use here,无毛视频� he said.

The day-long elimination style tournament started at 8 a.m., with busses from the participating schools 无毛视频� Wilson Junior High, Meadows Union, Seeley, Holtville High School, Brawley Union High School (BUHS) and Calexico High School (CHS) 无毛视频�, rolling in at 7:30 a.m. to get their gaming on.

Ultimately, two Calexico High School teams took both first place and third place, with one of Brawley Union High School无毛视频檚 two teams taking second place. The event concluded with Brawley无毛视频檚 Team Wildcats going against Calexico无毛视频檚 无毛视频淭eam Cloud,无毛视频� with Team Cloud无毛视频檚 players coming out on top. An awards ceremony with photos ended the event at approximately 2:30 p.m.

无毛视频淚n the future we can maybe separate the junior high and high school, maybe even into elementary, who knows?无毛视频� Ortiz said. 无毛视频淲e're hoping this can expand throughout our county.无毛视频�

Both the various students and the adults supervising the event had nothing but positive things to say about how the inaugural gaming competition event turned out in ICOE无毛视频檚 first esports endeavor.

无毛视频淚t was pretty fun,无毛视频� BUHS senior Isaiah Taylor said after medaling on the second place team.

无毛视频淭he first time being here was quite the experience seeing all the (new) people we played against,无毛视频� the Wildcat senior said. 无毛视频淚t was fun meeting them and also competing, though at the same time it was stressful because of how challenging (the challengers) are and how competitive we can be.无毛视频�

无毛视频淚 agree, it was really fun to meet all the new people,无毛视频� fellow Team Wildcats senior, Derek Bacelis, said. 无毛视频淚've done competitions before but none have been this stressful.无毛视频�

无毛视频�(It was more stressful because) you're like THAT close to the person,无毛视频� the BUHS senior said of sitting right next to his opponents during the tourney. 无毛视频淭here's times where it无毛视频檚 like 1-1 and we're both at a really high percentage, and with one fatal blow either of us could die at any moment but it was also very fulfilling to win a game.无毛视频�

无毛视频淓ven though we didn't win, I feel like I can speak for our entire team that we had a lot of fun,无毛视频� Bacelis said. 无毛视频淓ven though we won无毛视频檛 be here (as graduating seniors), I feel like there will be more competition in the future.无毛视频�

Both winners and out-in-the-first-rounders said they enjoyed the esports tournament.

无毛视频淗onestly it was really fun and a lot better than I expected 无毛视频� in my opinion it was really amazing,无毛视频� Hector Murillo, a Calexico High School Team Cloud first place winner, said after winning the final match to push Calexico past Brawley.

Murillo, a junior at CHS, said Calexico High School has been hosting its own esports tournaments since May 2023, but he was pleasantly surprised at the organization of the county-level competition.

无毛视频淲e heard of (this county competition) a few months ago ... and I was like, 'You know what? I'll do it.' (It's good to) make use of this and get the school some trophies,无毛视频� Murillo said. 无毛视频淚无毛视频檓 proud of my opponents,无毛视频� he added.

As the three winners were interviewed by ICOE staff, one made note that they were happy that the event included 无毛视频済ood food and snacks.无毛视频�

无毛视频淚t was enjoyable,无毛视频� Isaac Anguiano, a CHS junior and Team Cloud member, said. 无毛视频淲inning feels great but in general the tournament was been smooth.无毛视频�

无毛视频淚 was kind of nervous at the last match but not that much,无毛视频� Anguiano said. 无毛视频淚t's a good experience for everyone in enjoying their favorite game and having passion for the game as well.无毛视频�

Anguiano said though Team Cloud took first place that to him the tournament was not about winning, but was about students 无毛视频渆njoying themselves and getting new people to join, so getting familiarized with tournaments like this is a really good idea.无毛视频�

无毛视频淓very team we faced were really good, especially my last opponent from Brawley,无毛视频� the CHS junior said in an on-mic interview with ICOE staff. 无毛视频淚t was a close match, but hey a win's a win.无毛视频�

无毛视频淚 liked the tournament. It's one of the best tournaments I've had so far,无毛视频� Anguiano said.

无毛视频淚 thought we were going to win but it turns out I lost in the first round,无毛视频� Seeley School seventh grader, Kevin Pinal, said after the tournament ended.

无毛视频淚t was a really good experience because I've never seen adults so happy about (video) games, because usually, they're not wanting kids to play games,无毛视频� he said. 无毛视频淚t felt nice.无毛视频�

Pinal said he would participate in a county esports competition again because 无毛视频渋t never gets boring playing with my friends无毛视频� and gaming is 无毛视频渕y favorite thing to do in my free time.无毛视频�

无毛视频淚 would do it again because I love games,无毛视频� Pinal said.

无毛视频淥ther than being nervous I was also happy that I could play with others and win something out of it too,无毛视频� CHS Team Cloud junior, Angel Velasco, said.

无毛视频淲inning the medal was good too; I gave it to my mom. She's also proud of me,无毛视频� he said.

Future ICOE Esports Competition events might feature different video games, and might also possibly split the junior high schools and high schools into two different categories, Ortiz said, with the possibility of branching out into the elementary schools as well.

无毛视频淲e're thankful for all the schools that participated,无毛视频� Ortiz said, 无毛视频渁nd we're excited for the future of this event.无毛视频�

无毛视频淚 hope everyone enjoyed themselves,无毛视频� Anguiano said.
