Pentwater Esports Fortnite team Fall Season came to an end today. They were playing to try to make it to the Finals at U of M Flint in December. They came out strong and won game 1 quickly. As their opponents figured us out, we fell in game 2. Game 3 came down to the final round unfortunately, we fell. Game 4 was also full of suspense. We were down 3 rounds of 7 when they pulled it back and ended up tied, so the final round was the deciding factor for making it to the finals. They ended up losing after a very valiant attempt.
As we learned about competing in this new to our team, I am super proud to be their coach. Aiden Henry and Anthony Acosta did a fantastic job trying to win today; I have been impressed with them all season. Michael Smith and Bryce Whalley have also contributed to the team at different points in the season.
Regarding the other Esports titles, Mario Kart and Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, I am pleased to announce that they both made it to the finals at U of M Flint on Saturday, December 7th. I look forward to the Pentwater Esports team's third appearance at Finals in as many seasons.
