Hello everyone, my name is Luke Davis. I have an Associates degree in Communication Studies from ACC. I’m working on my Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies with a persuasive focus and a Mass Comm. Minor. My goal for this blog is to take everyone along for the ride as well as some of the history behind E-Sports, and the E-Sports club we have here at Texas State. I presently compete in the Overwatch competitive team, of which we were previously ranked Top 10 in the State and in the top 75 for the country of collegiate teams.
Firstly, let me start by talking to you a bit about our E-Sports club. Our official website is located here. Texas State has had a semblance of a club for a few years, originating between 2016 and 2017. We became an official sports club last year, which is a big step up for the club as a whole as well as the school. If not for present school limitations in place against a large influx of people joining a sports club, the E-Sports club would be the largest sports club in the University. Listed below are the present games we compete in.
Current Games:
- Overwatch – Official Website
- League of Legends – Official Website
- Rocket League – Official Website
- Counter Strike: Global Offensive – Official Website
- Rainbow 6 Siege – Official Website
- Super Smash Bros. – Official Website
The official season for all of these games is in full swing and the objective of this blog is to not only explain the intricacies of e-sports and it’s history, but also to keep you up-to-date on the status of e-sports at Texas State University.
Go Bobcats!

Hi, Luke! As an older, non-traditional student, I love that Texas State has gotten into eSports and that you and your teammates have gotten it to an official club status.
While I’ve been a gamer for as long as I can remember, I’m admittedly not into the online aspect. Not because of disdain, but more because I just haven’t invested the time to get into it.
What are some of these limitations you write about? What’s the reasoning, if any, behind them?
One more thing: as a very recent entrant into Super Smash Bros., have any tips to share for a new player?
