Pride Esports Call of Duty teams reach NSL Playoffs

DUBUQUE, Iowa - Continuing the early growth of the Clarke University Esports program, the team will see another stride forward within one of their competitive titles as two of their Call of Duty teams have qualified for the NACE Starleague Playoffs that will take place this week.

Both the Navy roster and Gold roster qualified for the NACE Starleague playoffs in the Varsity Plus division as the Navy team, comprised of Alec dos Santos, Michael Feliz, Enzo Bovet-Morinon, and Diego Arenas, finished the regular season as the No. 2 seed in their conference with a 5-2 record, dropping their only games to the No. 1 seed and a forfeit due to internet outages. The Gold team, comprised of Samuel Swenor, Jaydon Dennis, Khalan Coleman, Devon Wall, and Ben Blackburn finished the regular season as the No. 2 in their conference as well, holding a 5-1 record with their only loss to the No. 1 seed team as both conferences have teams from Southeastern Illinois College as the No. 1 seed.

The Gold team faces off against the University of Jamestown on Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. CT while the Navy team will take on Central Penn College on Nov. 16 at 6:00 p.m. CT and both teams hope they will move to the conference finals on Nov. 30 with a win in their semifinal matchups.

Both matchups will be streamed on the Clarke Esports Twitch Channel at https://www.twitch.tv/clarkeesports.
