PlayVS launches College League for school-age esports

Esports platform PlayVS announced today that it has launched the PlayVS College League (PCL), a new competitive ecosystem that offers players a pathway to professional esports starting as early as middle school. Esports programs from many different schools have the chance to join the PCL, as it has no roster caps, per-seat fees or team limits, removing many barriers for smaller programs to participate in the broader esports landscape.

According to PlayVS, students can compete in 17 titles. The company offers schools multiple tools to track performance and stats while boosting participation, with fall and spring seasons ending in LAN events with travel stipends for participating teams. This program is the culmination of PlayVS’s efforts to unite scholastic esports with its acquisitions of Generation Esports and Playfly College Esports.
