Fortnite Rookie of the Week – Aferdita Skudrinja, SUNY Empire
“It’s so wild. I still feel like I’m living a dream because all my life I was told video games are not for girls. Now I look back and I’m thankful I never lost my love and pushed on. I’m going to repeatedly thank who ever made SUNY Empire esports possible because I’m so stoked to play and have met teammates virtually. Having this warm friendly welcome is so amazing!” – Gaminggoddess

League of Legends Rookie of the Week –Scott “Piacular” Warner, SUNY Empire
“Captaining the League of Legends teams has been a complete blast. I wasn’t sure what I was signing up for in the beginning. I felt a bit in over my head, but I lucked out by falling in with such great players who were willing to provide input and see through the early rough stages of our team’s infancy. Everyone brought a positive attitude and their genuine support, and because of that we’ve created a really comfortable gaming atmosphere for a group that I’m grateful to be a part of. I love my teammates, and I’m lucky to be participating in something so awesome. It’s a really great feeling.” – Piacular
