Tryouts!

Let’s Play Bobcats!

Tryouts! Similar to any sport organization/club, TXST E-Sports hosts tryouts for the games it participates in. However, tryouts work differently based upon the game and organizer. Below I’ll be listing the different games we currently host, as well as the try out periods and how each game hosts/hosted tryouts. A good short video for how tryouts for College E-Sports might be handled is linked here.
