High School Esports belong at the school! Esports is a spectator sport. Student and family members will jump at their opportunity to support their friends/loved ones during high school esports competition. However, the true essence of in-person competition extends beyond mere support—it's about creating an environment where every participant has an equal chance. Not all students have the means to afford high-end gaming gear or the space to create a dedicated gaming setup at home. This lack of accessibility can inadvertently create disparities, where some individuals may not have the same opportunities for skill development and participation as their better-equipped counterparts. In-person competitions, within the structured setting of a school, level the playing field, ensuring that talent, dedication, and strategy take precedence over disparities in personal resources. The exchange of triumphant high-fives, the shared tension, and the mutual respect between competitors are elements that transcend the screen and speak volumes about the true spirit of sportsmanship found in these live events. While sending students home for competition may seem convenient, it risks dampening your students' engagement and passion for competitive gaming.
