eSports Leagues

The CMSA eSports league in particular exists to provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals to participate in online and in-person organized eSport play. We aim to provide a diverse, social community of gamers that encourages camaraderie, sportsmanship, and a lightly competitive atmosphere.

Types of Gameplay: 

1) League Play -- Weekly league play fully organized by volunteer league managers!
2) Tournament Play -- Paid registration to join tournaments hosted by CMSA in conjunction with external partners for monetary prizes!
3) Freestyle Play -- Find new friends to play your favorite games!

All gameplay is hosted out of our Discord!

How do we play? 
eSports holds play sessions remotely which occur at the same time and day each week.
Depending on the game, we strive to have players able to play on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices, where possible.

 

We value your safety.
The comfort, safety, concern, and well-being of all of our eSporters is our utmost importance -- the eSport league, Discord server, and related events all fall within the CMSA Code of Conduct.

Harassment, intimidation, stalking, humiliation, or discrimination against participants, league and game officials, or spectators will NOT be tolerated through words OR action. Participants shall not act in a way that creates an unsafe environment for themselves or others during league play or events this includes exhibition/pick-up matches, CMSA Discord server, social platforms, and meet-ups as they all relate and are facilitated by CMSA eSports.
