graduation projects. I, for one, did not. I know what I wanted to do ever since the topic of
Esports appeared in my head, and that was to host my very own, small tournament here at
Garinger High. Of course, it’s easier said than done. There was many factors that just made it
impossible, such being, who would join the tournament? What would the winner win after
winning the tournament? What time would it be hosted? What game would be played? And
Eventually, I had to scratch that idea out and go with alternative plan. Here, at Garinger
High we have many clubs available for the students that go here. One of those clubs happen to be
a Gamer Club, which I attended during 2018, and this year, 2019, aswell. One day, while
attending one of the meetings, the idea of forming a school esports team was thrown, and I was
quick to advocate for it. Here, we went to a program called High School Esports League, known
as HSEL, for short and we began filling all sorts of forms out to get our school involved. Most of
the club members were completely onboard, with some already nominating themselves as team
captains, I being guilty of this as well. What seemed to be a dream coming true, eventually failed
due to the smallest of issues. The main one was everyone not playing on the same platform, such
as people playing on PC, while others different consoles. Due to these minor issues we couldn’t
participate in the tournaments held, and the name “Garinger Games” was sadly shortly live.
Nonetheless, much was learned here and can be used for the future. I learned that before
having set expectations for myself, to prepare myself for the worst of those outcomes, and
carefully map out the possible obstacles that I may face. I hope in the future the name “Garinger
Gamers” can be reborn and thrive, along with esport teams being a common thing for most
highschools nationwide.
