Lakeland joined the Indiana E-Sports Network, the statewide organization for Indiana E-Sports, in January 2024 as a club team. The 2024-25 season is our first season as a varsity team. Out of the three divisions, Lakeland falls into the 2A division, where ten titles are played.
The E-Sports regular season is from September to February. Single-elimination playoffs begin in March, with the State Finals scheduled for the last Saturday in April. State finals feature the top two teams from across the state in each of the ten titles!
Lakeland plays Overwatch 2, Valorant, and Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. We advanced to the semi-finals in Valorant and qualified for the State Finals in Overwatch 2.
Our Overwatch 2 team will play Norwell High School at 12:30 at Ball State University on Saturday, April 26th. You can watch the game here: https://twitch.tv/EsportsIndiana
