CSGO

Huskies win! The ESEA team is 1 and 3 and appears to have found its footing. Tuesday's loss versus Vexo White saw an early lead slip away into overtime. Seniors Brendon "DeadO" Cook and Sean "Cleanslate" Parker locked down A site on Inferno with 25 kills and 23 kills, respectively.

Thursday saw the squad's first victory this season on Nuke. Sean showed an outstanding performance with 31 kills in total - 20 being on the difficult T side during some nail-biting clutches. Substitute Andrew "Solace" Simon's practice with the team is paying off, seeing him score a respectable 22 kills.

CSGO ESEA has its work cut out this week with a new map tomorrow night: Overpass.

MTU Varsity (4) plays Missouri University of Science and Technology (unranked) Friday.

Tuesday saw a clean 2-0 victory for Tech over University of Illinois Chicago's club in a typical 36 minutes round 1 and a 41-minute and 35-second slugfest round 2.

Captain David "Poro in a Box" Scott led the Huskies to a round 2 victory with 18 assists as Lulu.
