The Chamber of Manitowoc County issued the following announcement on Dec. 3
Construction of a new state-of-the-art esports arena is complete and the space is now open to students at Lakeshore Technical College. Students can play at no cost for fun or try out for competitive teams.
The college is a member of the National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE), the largest member association of college and university sponsored esports programs in the country. LTC teams will compete in the National Esports Collegiate Conference (NECC). More than 100 colleges and universities across the country compete in the NECC.
“As a member of the National Association of Collegiate Esports, we are excited to open this new arena and encourage students to visit and play for fun or try out for our competitive teams,” said LTC President Dr. Paul Carlsen. “We look forward to giving the other teams in our conference some serious competition.”
The new 900-square-foot arena with ultramodern lighting features 11 gaming stations and two gaming consoles, all with hi-tech computers, monitors, headsets, keyboards, and mice.
All students are welcome to play a variety of games including League of Legends, Rocket League, Smash Bros., CS:GO, and Valorant. Competitive student teams will play League of Legends, Rocket League, and Smash Bros.
A Smash Bros. tournament is scheduled for January 5 at LTC. Admissions Advisors are in attendance of esports events to assist in any details needed regarding LTC.
