Army West Point Esports

Esports is momentous In the first of its kind, arguably the first ever. Army West Point Esports was privileged to have a Senior Cadet from the United States Military Academy at West Point, choose to conduct his commissioning ceremony, pinning of Second Lieutenant rank, in the Esports facility. As you read this please understand the impact of this. The pinning ceremony, Oath of Office and the First Salute are a highly coveted moment for Cadets. For 2LT Rocca to choose the Esports facility as the location for this event demonstrates the impact that this program has on our Cadets. In his speech to his family and friends he shared the reasoning for selecting the CAVE for his ceremony and it came down to friendships and comaredrie. Army West Point Esports strives to be a place for all Cadets to grow, develop and build lifelong friendships. Our group of Cadets encompasses nearly 70 Cadets from a variety of majors, all of which have found a connection in gaming. Army West Point Esports is one of the top collegiate competitive programs in the world. Not because of championships.... because its sole mission is to enhance the Cadet experience in all phases.
