HARTSVILLE, S.C. - The Coker University Esports team fell in a pair of Overwatch matches on Sunday (Sept. 29), losing to Western Kentucky and Ferris State by identical scores of 2-0.
Coker started off against Western Kentucky University on Oasis. Both team traded rounds one and two, so the deciding victory happened in the third game. After a close couple of fights, WKU was able to take the round and the map. Next up was King's Row and the Cobras were up to attack first. They were stopped just short of the point and were forced to defend. WKU was able to brute Force their way past the Cobras defense and take the match 2-0.
The next match was against Ferris State University with the same map pool, so the match again began on Oasis. Ferris State was able to take quick control of the points and hold them for the majority of the map, taking the map 2-0. Next up was King's Row and Ferris State was able to continue their momentum to push through all three points. To keep the match alive, Coker was forced to do the same and after some good holds by Ferris State, Coker was able to get the cart moving. Ferris was able to regain their foothold and stop the push to win the match 2-0.
Coker is back in action tomorrow (Monday, Sept. 30) in the Hearthstone Collegiate Championship, at 8:00 p.m. against an opponent to be determined.
