Butler Club Esports will be meeting on Sunday, December 8 at 3:00pm in Pharmacy Building 150.  We will be going over the past semester and looking ahead to the spring, as well as voting on a new Constitution for the club to reflect our recent transition to being a club sport.

Additionally, we will be electing a Safety Officer for the club, a position that will be filled beginning in January.  More details will be coming about that position, as well as a draft Constitution to be reviewed before the vote.  Club members who are present at the meeting will be eligible to vote on both the Constitution and the Safety Officer election.

We are excited to release the full schedule for our 24-hour charity stream with Extra Life this weekend, from 9pm Friday November 15th to 9pm Saturday the 16th.  We have a lot of exciting things planned for everyone!

We want to invite students to come join us at certain times on-stream in our headquarters, the Lacy School of Business room 010 (basement).  We will be playing group games and having a great time – plus, students who attend will be entered in a drawing to win one of dozens and dozens of giveaway prizes from Tespa and Riot games!  Come join us from 9pm-1am Friday night, as well as 11am-2pm and 8pm-9pm Saturday!

Find more information, as well as the full schedule of events, on our Extra Life page!

Butler Club Esports is proud to announce that we will be supporting the Extra Life charity and the Children’s Miracle Network of hospitals again this year!  We will host a 24-hour charity stream from 9:00pm Friday, November 15 to 9:00pm Saturday, November 16, 2019.

Last year, we were able to raise more than $650 for Extra Life, and this year we hope to raise the bar even higher!  You can look forward to a 24-hour stream with that weekend’s Collegiate Star League matches, as well as highlights from our competitive teams and club members, giveaways, and more!

As one of three Butler Hearthstone teams playing in the fall Tespa Hearthstone Collegiate Championship, Butler’s Gamma squad, led by captain Stephen Lichtenwalter ’22 alongside Mason Lovett ’22 and Jorden Clemens ’22, is looking ahead to tomorrow night’s match.

A win against Lourdes University, also currently 4-1, at 10pm this Tuesday may likely mean advancing to the regional playoff, provided the team does not go winless in their final two matches of the regular season.  The regional playoff, on November 9 and 10, will pit the top 32 Hearthstone teams in the North region against each other in a double-elimination tournament, including teams from the US Midwest and central Canada.

Catch the match against the Lourdes University Gray Wolves at twitch.tv/tannanai, tomorrow night, October 22 at 10:00pm Eastern.

———-

Edit: With a close loss against Lourdes, 2-3, Butler Gamma has not been eliminated from Tespa contention, but will be looking to go 2-0 (or 1-0 with a bye) in the last two weeks of the regular season.

For its entire history, Butler Esports has existed as a Butler University student organization.  As of the beginning of this semester, the Butler Esports officer board is proud to announce that we have become an officially recognized University Club Sport, under the Butler University Office of Recreation and Wellness.

We are going through the ongoing onboarding process with our current members, and will continue doing so throughout the coming weeks.  Join us in celebrating this accomplishment for the Butler Esports organization, and also at our club meeting this Sunday!

Come join us on Sunday, October 13, at 3:00pm in Pharmacy Building 156 for our October monthly meeting!  We’ve recently made the transition from a student organization to a club sport, and we want to talk you through that process and what that will mean for us going forward.
