FLINT, Mich. – Gamers flocked to the University of Michigan Flint Recreation Center this weekend for the Michigan High School Esports Federation (MiHSEF) spring finals.
Teams from across Michigan competed in popular games such as Call of Duty, Fortnite, Rocket Leauge and Super Smash Bros.
Over 70 schools and 400 students registered for the event, with 15 champions being crowned in the end.
Dee Jones, an advisor for MiHSEF and founder of Jump Ahead L3C, an organization that helps local schools build Esports Labs, says esports are important because they level the playing field.
“It’s important to get kids into Esports becase everybody isn’t good at traditional sports. Some kids have disabilities, health problems, and traditional sports is harder for some people. But Esports, it evens the playing field,” said Jones.
The MiHSEF finals are set to occur annually at UM-Flint through 2028.
