Esports

The Florida State University Panama City Varsity eSports Team is the first varsity team in FSU PC history. In January 2023 the team was admitted to the NCAA Division II Peach Belt Conference as an associate member, competing in League of Legends, Overwatch 2, Valorant, and Rocket League.

The team provides a place for healthy competition, as well as an avenue for personal and professional growth in life and in the aspects of gaming. FSU PC Varsity Esports is more than just a team; it is a home for gamers, a training ground for champions, and an opportunity for those who want to game at a collegiate level. The team encourages a strong sense of community and a chance to build lasting friendships through competitive gaming. 

Open to any full-time FSU PC students in good academic standing, the team is university-funded and provides mentorship and the opportunity to travel. FSU PC Varsity eSports invites you to join us and become part of our growing program.
