The Esports and Gaming community is open to students who have a passion for competitive video gaming, social gaming, recreational gaming, tabletop gaming, and role-playing games.
The mission of MSU Texas's Esports and Gaming initiatives are to cultivate communities for lifelong friendships through shared interests in gaming, and invest in our competitive players to master their chosen title. We don't think anybody should game alone if they don't want to, and we think anybody who wants to be the best should be given a fair shot toward that dream.
We host tournaments, put on events for the community, collaborate with other departments, and more. If you'd love to get into the game, then join us in the MSU Texas Esports & Gaming Discord Server, and we'll plug you in to where you belong! This server is moderated and ran in accordance to the MSU Texas Student Code of Conduct.
