MIDWAY, Ky. - A recent 3-2 performance at the Southeast Region Conference Championships earned Midway Esports' Call of Duty team a spot in a national tournament being held this weekend.
In a 32-team, double-elimination tournament in which the top eight qualified for nationals, Midway finished in seventh place.
The highlight was a 3-2 win over No. 21 nationally ranked Tennessee-Chattanooga. The Eagles also earned wins over Arkansas State and Kennesaw State, with the later clinching their spot in the CollegeCOD national tournament, which run on April 17-19.
