The event will consist of a gaming night with a Smash Brothers tournament and will include discussions about eSports in Nebraska. All students are invited to come play, compete and connect with the eSports community in the area.
The opportunity will also allow students to learn more about broadcasting and live streaming video games.
“The general goal for the media production area is to work more with live streaming using some new equipment in the college, as well as get more of an understanding of eSports/gaming in the sports media and ADPR areas,” Professor Adam Wagler, who is coordinating the event, said.
