How much does it cost to join WSC Esports?
Membership is free for WSC Esports.
Is there a baseline skill in order to compete with WSC Esports?
Our program is one of the most competitive in the Midwest region. With top ranked players in almost every game title, earning a spot on a varsity roster can be difficult. However, we offer JV rosters to foster new and incoming talent for the majority of our game titles. Some titles we offer do have a minimum rank requirement in order for new players to tryout.
