Pratt eSports Set to Begin Post Season Tournaments

Pratt, Kan. – The Pratt Community College eSports team has wrapped up their fall 2022 season back on November 18. They competed in seven games in the fall including Call of Duty: Vanguard, Rocket League, FIFA 23, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Call of Duty: Warzone, Overwatch 2, and 2K23.

Both the Call of Duty: Warzone team and the 2K23 player advanced to the NJCAAe postseason tournament. The Warzone team ended their regular season 5-2 and the 2K23 player ended their season 6-1.

“Competing in seven games in my first semester as coach of the program was a big undertaking,” said Head eSports Coach Charles Keefer. “Super proud of both the Call of Duty: Warzone team and our 2K23 player for advancing to the postseason tournament. All of our teams were competitive this season and showed improvement every week.”

The Warzone team will start their postseason tournament on Wednesday, November 30. The team received the 25 seed in the tournament and will face the 8 seeded Northland Community and Technical College. With a win in the round one, they would advance to face the winner of either Madison College or Tallahassee Community College.

Freshman Christopher Whitaker will be starting his 2K23 postseason tournament on Friday, December 2. As the 8 seed he received a first-round bye and will face the 9 seed Hudson Valley Community College in the second round.

"Our Warzone team ended their season on a winning streak and we hope to continue that streak throughout the postseason," said Coach Keefer. "For Chris he has had a frustrating season with a few wins off of forfeits. He did end his season with a tough loss, but fought back in the match and had a few opportunities to win."
