On Saturday, September 22nd, the ACU Esports Overwatch team traveled to Dallas to compete at the OP Live Dallas Collegiate Overwatch Tournament.
Following check-in, the team had an opportunity to warm up on the computers in the computer bay. In the first match the Wildcats faces the University of Arkansas on Ilios and defeated them soundly 2-0.
The second match was against UT Arlington on Route 66. It was incredibly close, but Arlington won in overtime.
The third match was the decider match for the group stage. This was against SMU, on the main stage, and was played on Volskya Industries. The Wildcats defeated SMU after an unheard of 7-minute hold on the second point. This match was broadcast live on Twitch and can be found here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/313342399?t=00h13m09s.
