The C&E Branch has entered the arena of E-Sports competition!

We are proud to announce the C&E Branch E-Sports initiative. A way for our branch members, past and present, to stay in touch while also testing their skills in both casual and competitive gaming. Tailored to accommodate a broad range of interests and competencies, our program promises a welcoming space for everyone, from casual gamers seeking a relaxed atmosphere to competitive players aiming to challenge the elite. With a diverse selection of popular games, we’re set to reignite old friendships and spark new ones, ensuring every member finds their place in our growing community. Let’s get right into what we have planned for all of you!

GAMING TOURNAMENTS

FPS, Fighting, TCG, Sports, Racing, MOBA. No games will be left out and there will be something for everyone’s gaming preference. Which games we play are completely up to you. We have two polls below for you to vote on which games you want to play. You can vote on up to three games you’d like to play. Don’t see your favorite, just add it to the poll!  You will also be able to vote on our official Discord channel once it is up and running in the next 2 weeks. Votes from both polls will be added together so make sure you vote on both.  The polls will close on 1 March 2024 so make sure you get your votes in quickly because you won’t have to wait long! 

We plan to hold our first TWO TOURNAMENTS the week of 25 March 2024 with prizes support directly from the Branch. So gear up and get ready to be thrust into the fray soon!

Not interested in playing? No problem, you can watch all the action live on Twitch so stay tuned for more info on CMCEN.

CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

Winning a tournament is great, but how’s your long game? Each tournaments top 10 players will receive points based on where they placed in the field starting with our first tournament. Team play will be included so don’t lean too heavily on your teammates to win your matches as the team point system will judge players on their overall performance during their run through the tournament.  The best players will be placed on a criteria TBD so that even a player on the worst team could place in the top 10 players of the tournament if they played hard enough.

As the season progresses the leader board will be on Discord and CMCEN. At the end of the year, we crown our first ever E-Sports Champion.

COMPETITIVE TEAM?

Not yet but we have our eyes set on great things! Make no mistake, we want in on the action but first we want to foster a close knit, fun, and interactive community. The Branch leadership is fully supportive of the concept to build an E-Sports team but we want to ensure we have everything running smoothly before we enter into the competitive space.

For the first year we are going to build up our community and keep a close eye on the competition. After our inaugural season and crowning of our first E-Sports champion we will discuss amongst the community if there is interest in forming a competitive e-Sports team to represent the branch and CAF in Regional and National tournaments.
