Contact: Landon Gibson
STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擬ississippi State鈥檚 Esports Club is looking for another victory against the University of Mississippi in a best-of-nine video game competition series on Saturday and Sunday [Oct. 24-25].
The 鈥淓sports Egg Bowl,鈥 originally set to take place at The Pavilion on the University of Mississippi campus, is now a virtual event due to COVID-19 restrictions. Students, faculty and members of the general public can stream the 10 a.m-8 p.m. competition live on
During the two-day contest, esports players will compete for their respective school to win video games, including two new titles鈥擬adden and Valorant. Other games include Call of Duty, Rocket League, Rainbow Six Siege, League of Legends, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Melee and Hearthstone.
The series record between 汤头条 Esports and Ole Miss Esports is tied 1-1 in the competition that launched in 2018.
According to 汤头条 Esports President Josh Chumney, a senior software engineering major from Long Beach, the Bulldogs feel confident they can regain the lead this weekend, while comparing the rivalry to that of siblings.
鈥淲henever something positive happens to Ole Miss Esports, we are very supportive, but at the same time, we want to beat them,鈥 said Chumney. 鈥淧ersonally, I believe we are better and have shown this in the past.鈥
Although 汤头条 dropped last year鈥檚 Esports Bowl, Chumney said that the decision came down to the last possible game and player, and in no way defines the club moving forward.
鈥淲hen we won in our opening year, it was a blowout. I think the matchups this year will be close, but I am confident that we will win again,鈥 he said.
