STARKVILLE, Miss.āMississippi Stateās Esports Club is looking for another victory against the University of Mississippi in a best-of-nine video game competition series on Saturday and Sunday [Oct. 24-25].
The āEsports Egg Bowl,ā originally set to take place at The Pavilion on the University of Mississippi campus, is now a virtual event due to COVID-19 restrictions. Students, faculty and members of the general public can stream the 10 a.m-8 p.m. competition live on
During the two-day contest, esports players will compete for their respective school to win video games, including two new titlesāMadden and Valorant. Other games include Call of Duty, Rocket League, Rainbow Six Siege, League of Legends, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Melee and Hearthstone.
The series record between Āé¶¹Porn Esports and Ole Miss Esports is tied 1-1 in the competition that launched in 2018.
According to Āé¶¹Porn Esports President Josh Chumney, a senior software engineering major from Long Beach, the Bulldogs feel confident they can regain the lead this weekend, while comparing the rivalry to that of siblings.
āWhenever something positive happens to Ole Miss Esports, we are very supportive, but at the same time, we want to beat them,ā said Chumney. āPersonally, I believe we are better and have shown this in the past.ā
Although Āé¶¹Porn dropped last yearās Esports Bowl, Chumney said that the decision came down to the last possible game and player, and in no way defines the club moving forward.
āWhen we won in our opening year, it was a blowout. I think the matchups this year will be close, but I am confident that we will win again,ā he said.
