After a three-week winter hiatus, the Benson Esports team resumed competition last week, marking the third week of an eight-week season. The team has been actively participating in various matchups in the popular battle royale game Fortnite, where they have faced stiff competition against numerous schools, including a formidable St. John’s Prep and a team from Hawley.
In their latest match, the duo known as Team Ascheberg, consisting of players Tristian Ascheman and Cole Oehlberg, faced a tough challenge against the St. John’s Prep team. Although they put up a valiant effort, they were ultimately defeated. Despite this setback, Team Ascheberg currently holds a respectable 2-1 record, placing them within the top third of 104 competing teams. The performance thus far indicates a promising trajectory as they navigate the season.
On the other hand, the Rayrom team, featuring Roman Mendez and substitute player Isiah Espinoza, squared off against a team from Warroad. This match resulted in a loss, with a final score of 5-10. The defeat highlights the competitive landscape the Benson Esports teams are operating in, where even small margins can dictate the outcomes of closely contested matches.
The Benson Boonies, comprised of Malakye Bonham and Devin Armstrong, experienced their first defeat of the season against Hawley, finishing with a score of 4-11. This loss adds a layer of complexity to their campaign, as they will need to regroup and reassess their strategies moving forward. The Boonies have shown resilience throughout their matches, and it will be crucial for them to maintain their competitive edge in the weeks to come.
With the season still in its early stages, the Benson Esports teams have the opportunity to refine their strategies and improve their standings in the league. As they look ahead to upcoming matches, maintaining focus and adapting to the evolving meta in Fortnite will be critical. Whether through teamwork, communication, or individual skill, each player will play a vital role in shaping their team’s fortunes as the season progresses.
The current standings reflect the highly competitive nature of the league, and the Benson Esports teams will need to leverage their strengths to secure victories in the remaining weeks. As they continue to face off against a variety of opponents, the experience gained from each match will contribute to their growth as a competitive force in the esports scene. This season not only serves as a platform for individual development but also for establishing the Benson Esports brand in a rapidly growing industry.
