HARTSVILLE, S.C.- The Coker University Esports team took on the University of Alabama and Michigan State University in their last week of the Tespa Open Division on Sunday (Nov. 15).

The Cobras faced Michigan State in the second match of the night, and the match started on Ilios. In the first round Coker was able to get to the point first but was quickly pushed off by Michigan State who kept it until the end. In the second round Michigan State took the point first, but Coker was able to take it back soon after. After another fight MSU took the point back and held it to win the map. The second map was King's Row, and Coker was up to attack first. Coker was able to push past the defenses to unlock the payload and push it to the next objective.
