"It's a space where teamwork means friendship, and the joy of the game is just as important as the score."

"It's a space where teamwork means friendship, and the joy of the game is just as important as the score. This team is proving that esports is for everyone, it’s a place to connect, to challenge themselves, and to chase their dreams together."
With these five talented gamers, Utica Esports shows its arena is more than just a place to "play games."
