FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Indiana Tech Esports team hosted the fall WHAC Tournament for both Rocket League and Overwatch this past weekend in the Multi-Flex Theater here on campus, where the Warriors would repeat as champions, winning back-to-back titles in both games.
 
The WHAC Rocket League Tournament is a six-team double elimination tournament with a winner's and a loser's bracket. The top two teams during the regular season earned a bye, while the other four teams competed in the first round. Every team would start in the winner's bracket, while a loss sent them into the loser's bracket and a second loss will eliminate that team from the tournament. The Warriors entered the tournament as the #1 seed and favorites to win it all after a dominant undefeated regular season. Lawrence Tech was the #2 seed, followed by Cleary, Kettering, Baker, and Madonna.
 
After a first-round bye, the Warriors would take down #4 Kettering in a quick 3-0 sweep in the semifinal round to advance to the finals. They would then face #2 Lawrence Tech, where the Warriors would sweep the Blue Devils 4-0 to claim the title and complete a perfect undefeated season, not losing a single game or round all season.
 
The WHAC Overwatch Tournament is a six-team single elimination tournament. The top two teams during the regular season earned a bye, while the other four teams competed in the first round. The Warriors entered the tournament as the #1 seed after an undefeated regular season. Baker would enter as the #2 seed as the Warriors biggest threat, while Lawrence Tech was the #3 seed and would also have a shot at the title as both teams were able to win rounds against the Warriors during the regular season. Cleary was the #4 seed, followed by Kettering, and Defiance.
 
Tech would get a first-round bye into the semifinal where they defeated #4 Cleary 3-0. The Warriors would then take on #2 seed Baker in an exciting showdown. The seven-game series would go back and forth. Baker grabbed the first match before Tech tied it at one. This continued until it was knotted up at 3-3, setting a winner take all game seven. The Warriors would narrowly edge out the Bees in the closing stages to take the crown.
 
The WHAC conference awards would also be handed out for Rocket League and Overwatch during the tournament where six Warriors would be recognized. Enzo Morin (RESHIRAM) was named the WHAC Rocket League Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive season, while his teammates Adam Jackson (VELOCITY) and Sebastian Moroianu (ALXX) each earned WHAC First Team All-Conference honors. For Overwatch, Parker Dugan (PDUGGY) and Alejandro Nieto (NINJAAA) earned WHAC First Team All-Conference honors, while Coleman Yap (BAPPLE) was named to the WHAC Second Team All-Conference.
 
Indiana Tech concludes the fall season with a perfect 8-0 Rocket League season and a perfect 8-0 Overwatch season with both WHAC Tournament titles. The Warriors will battle for the League of Legends and Valorant WHAC titles in the spring as they attempt to win the overall WHAC Championship as well!
