Manager-run teams organized via Discord with student officers; 2023 BGSU news quotes the director saying it is not an official varsity team and scholarships are a future goal. Joined the MAC-created Esports Collegiate Conference in 2020 (ESC participation now unconfirmed). Lab in Hayes Hall 020 per Oct 2025 page.
