PSC sends 2 two-person teams to the NJCAAE playoffs ‘Call of Duty: Warzone’ eSports competition

A year ago, Pensacola State College didn’t even have an eSports Program. Now, the PSC eSports Program is sending two two-person teams to the NJCAAE playoffs to compete in “Call of Duty: Warzone.”

PSC Team 1 – Jackson Clyde and Joel Montoro ─ is ranked 11^th in Warzone and will face off against 22^nd ranked Southwest Illinois College at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30.

PSC Team 2 – Michael Buffington and Josiah Gaidia – is ranked 19^th and will face off against 14^th ranked North Central Missouri College, also at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

There are 32 two-year college teams competing in the “Warzone” tournament, just one of a dozen games played in NJCAAE competitions. The NJAAE is the governing body for eSports at the two-year college level.

“As a startup program in our first season, I had hopes that we would get one team to the playoffs,’’ said Scott Brumfield, PSC eSports coordinator. “We got two teams in. That’s a huge accomplishment.”

The PSC eSports team kicked off its inaugural season in October and plays from the College’s eSports Arena in Building 5.

More than 125 two-year colleges in the United States have an eSports team.

The PSC eSports Program will compete in spring as well.
