There was a time when kids played video games, and some parents would scold them for wasting too much time playing them. There’s a different dynamic in 2023.
The Learning Resource Center at Evergreen Park Community High School will be the site of the 2023 IHSA State eSports tournament in April.
Last year, the Illinois High School Association sanctioned esports and held its first state tournament downstate at Bloomington High School. While the deal is for one year, Truffa hopes to impress the IHSA enough to convince officials to bring the games back for a number of years. Last year, the area had 14 players from seven schools compete at state, and Andrew’s Zaid Alqammaz and Thang Truong won the inaugural state title in the Super Smash Bros. Duo event.
