A group of middle school students will learn the ways of Esports in Eastern Michigan University’s first summer youth camp.

The five-day camp, July 14-18, will immerse students ages 11 to 14 in hands-on activities that mix gaming with developmental skills, such as teamwork and communication. According to a news release, the program will be run by EMU’s Esports student-athletes.

“We’re excited to bring esports and gaming education to the next generation,” said Zachary Lewis, coordinator of the EMU Esports program, in a statement. 

EMU says the camp is the first in a series planned by the program, and there are plans for future sessions to include competitive gaming and content creation for high school students.

“This camp is about more than just gameplay—it’s about building a learning environment that helps students grow and develop in a safe, collaborative space. We also hope to engage families and educators in seeing the positive potential of esports as a structured, valuable discipline,” Lewis said.

St. John Fisher University is hosting the Serious Play Conference this August.

The event explores how play and games are transforming education and other fields — but it also looks at how they can shape society at large.

“Many of the games or interventions that are being presented on are being used for some type of social good,” Paul Darvasi, executive director of the Serious Play Conference said. “Whether it’s sort of creating more awareness around environmental issues, thinking more deeply about treating people in a better way through some kind of a game or initiative focusing on social and emotional learning,”

One of the draws to bring the conference to Rochester is the Strong National Museum of Play, but it’s not the only reason. Darvasi said the city is making a name for itself in the world of gaming.

“What we found is there’s lots of these pockets around the Rochester area where games are being used in a really interesting way,” he said.

Things like building relationships between youths and law enforcement through gaming competitions at the library, he said, and other initiatives that serve as more than mere entertainment.

“I think we even need more play because of the play poverty that I’m seeing in the world,” St. John Fisher University professor Ozge Kantas said, citing conflicts, confusion and burnout. “People are … losing their spontaneity, their well-being, their vitality, and they’re still trying to push themselves further. So … they’re losing contact with their human essence and their joy,”

Kantas, who teaches psychology and business, is one of more than 120 speakers scheduled to present at the three-day event. Her background working in kindergarten classrooms informs her approach to the field of play.

“We utilize those childlike skills of expanding, building and broadening … our capabilities through play, and interact (with) each other through play, that playfulness gets the core of everything, of productivity, innovation, peace, building,” she said. “Whether it is two little kids playing in a playground and fighting over a toy, or whether it is two nations fighting over the land, it is the same games that we play, whether we make peace or whether we make war with each other.”

The conference includes after-hours access to the Strong National Museum of Play, and an inaugural Serious Play Esports Summit at the Rochester Institute of Technology’s MAGIC Spell Studios. The goal of the summit is to explore the evolving landscape of esports in education and competitive gaming, according to organizers.

Already 1010 chicken filets given after just one series against T1

The official League of Legends Facebook page in Taiwan is using every possible means to support their last remaining representative at MSI. Before CTBC Flying Oyster’s first match against T1, they launched a challenge that only this region could dream up: for every kill CFO secured, ten fried chicken filets would be given out to a randomly selected person. And for each game win, that’s 100 more.

LoL Taiwan's post on Facebook.

LoL Taiwan’s post on Facebook.

Currently, the post has gathered over 2,800 comments on Facebook. After all, the goal of the campaign is also to drive engagement. Only those who comment on the post — showing the most passion, fervor, and a good dose of humor for the LCP champion — will have a chance to win this chicken-themed giveaway. It’s worth noting that chicken filets hold a special place in Taiwanese street food culture. They’re a cheap, flavorful, indulgent bite — one you grab after work, after school, or, in this case, after a clutch teamfight.

An entire nation praying for a miracle lower bracket run

In their very first series of MSI 2025, CFO went up against none other than World Champions T1. Few expected them to put up much resistance. But CFO shocked the world — not just by winning two games off the favorites, but by racking up 81 kills across the series. That’s 810 filets from kills, plus 200 more from their two wins, bringing the total to a crispy, golden 1010 chicken filets.

A Reddit user documented the breakdown of “chicken earned” and “chicken given out,” attributing filets to individual players like fantasy points in a food-fueled stat sheet:

Chicken Earned (CFO Players):

  • Driver: 50
  • Rest: 40
  • Junjia: 70
  • HongQ: 280
  • Doggo: 330
  • Kaiwing: 40

Chicken Given Out (T1 Players):

  • Doran: 210
  • Oner: 160
  • Faker: 210
  • Gumayusi: 100
  • Keria: 130

So far, Chiu “Doggo” Tzu-Chuan and Tsai “HongQ” Ming-Hong became Taiwan’s crispy kings, while T1’s solo lanes, Choi “Doran” Hyeon-joon and Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, gave up the most. It is now up to CFO to make a deep run in the lower bracket and cover their home country with crispy chicken.
