BERKELEY, CA —Students at the University of California at Berkeley took home the national championship in esports on Sunday - also known as competitive video gaming - according to Tespa, a collegiate esports organizer and operator.
UC Berkeley's Starcraft II team beat students from Canada's University of Waterloo 4-3 in what Tespa hailed as a "nail-biting" series on Sunday.
Tespa, a network of college gamers, esports clubs and competitive leagues, sponsored and broadcast the event. The winner took home $10,500 in scholarship money, Tespa officials said on Twitter.
