Akron Esports Varsity Rocket League Team Qualifies for Nationals

Zips Esports has become the first team in the history of Collegiate Rocket League to qualify for nationals twice in a row.

On March 20, the Akron Zips Esports varsity Rocket League team won the Collegiate Rocket League (CRL) Northern Conference Championships. They are the only National Championship team from last season to qualify for nationals again this spring.

Akron’s victory took the team to the NCAA Final Four Fan Fest in Minneapolis, Minn. on April 4-8, where the Zips became the CRL Spring Champions.

A highlights-driven feature television show based on the competition will air on TBS on Friday, April 12.
