“Censorship is MHS Esports’ main export” - Danny L

## An Abridged History of MHS Esports

The Esports Club was founded in 2019 by its four original officers: Alex B, Will Y, Eric D, and Josh H, who would become President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary, respectively, to be a general gaming community and to compete in the High School Esports League. Initially, it came up during a discussion during lunch and a trip to the main office, where Alex and Will were informed that they would need an advisor to assist in running the club as well as a list of signatures of students who would support the club's creation. Over the course of the next few days, the officers collected signatures from friends who would support the club's creation, and the club was officially approved as an ad hoc club. They asked M. Gontier, who was Eric's French teacher at the time, to be their advisor and sponsor the club's creation, and he agreed to do so.

Before teams were created and participation in HSEL was decided, there were several in-person meetings where it was decided how the club would run. Initially, there were seven teams, including COD: Gunfight Team 1, CSGO Team 1, League Team White and Blue, Overwatch Team 1, R6 Team 1 and Smash Team 1.

During the first year, many teams showed promising results, but fell short of winning outright. In HSEL's Winter Open season, CSGO Team 1 and Casey H took 3rd place nationally in their respective competitions, and Overwatch Team 1, Alex Z, Brandon Y, Danny L, and Nikhil P made it into playoffs. For the Spring Major season, a new CSGO Team 2, was created, although no teams or players would make it into playoffs, despite certain Smash Team 1 players and CSGO Team 1 coming close. In the end-of-year elections, Will ran for and was elected President, Casey would become Vice President, and Eric and Josh were re-elected to their existing positions.

The next year saw the release of Valorant and the formation of Valorant Team 1 and Rocket League Team 1. The Fall Major season would see CSGO Team 1 and Valorant Team 1 make it to playoffs but lose in their first round. The Winter Open, by contrast was far more successful. CSGO Team 1, CSGO Team 2, Overwatch Team 1, and Brandon Y would make it to playoffs, with CSGO Team 1 going on to win the entire season. The Spring Major went similarly, with CSGO Team 1, Overwatch Team 1, Rocket League Team 1, Casey H, and Brandon Y making it into playoffs, and CSGO Team 1 winning again. The club officer elections resulted in Will, Casey, and Eric being re-elected uncontested and Justin S being elected Secretary in a close race against Nikhil P and the incumbent Josh.
