Video Game Tournament

What was the Video Game Tournament?

The Basis Peoria Business Club hosted its very first video game tournament! The competition was free to join, meaning any Basis student could compete without paying a single dime. The tournament, taking place on November 4th, from 4-8 pm, and November 5th, from 1-6 pm, featured various games to compete in, including Valorant, Fortnite, League of Legends, Overwatch 2, and even Chess. The diversity of game choices allowed anyone to join! Players simply had to enter a designated Discord server to compete, and the entire event was streamed live on Twitch for any spectators to watch.
