Athletic directors get a taste of esports at All-School Summit

DENVER — More than 300 athletic directors gathered at the annual All-School Summit got a small introduction to esports on Tuesday.

Students from Gateway put on a demonstration with League of Legends matches in the lobby of the Denver Marriott Tech Center. Esports is set to begin a pilot season this fall, and this demonstration allowed the athletic directors to see what a match might look like in their schools.

It was the second esports demonstration within a week — the Gateway team also scrimmaged at the CHSCA clinic last Friday.

The demo was in conjunction with a presentation about esports to the gathered attendees, one of many topics the All-School Summit touched on this week.

The esports pilot will be run by PlayVS this season.
