Esports (electronic sports) is making waves at Swan Valley Anglican Community School, with the Year 8 teams recently showcasing their prowess in the 2024 FUSE Cup ‘Rocket League’ State Finals.
The FUSE Cup is a premier international school Esports competition dedicated to providing young students with a safe, inclusive, and supportive platform for structured Esports competitions while promoting positive gaming behaviours and digital well-being.
In ‘Rocket League,’ players aim to score goals using vehicles controlled by drivers and powered by rocket boosters, blending elements of physics, mathematics, technology, and physical education. It’s a game of strategy, skill, and teamwork, offering participants a dynamic and engaging challenge.
Both Year 8 teams demonstrated exceptional skill, advancing to the Semi-Finals after defeating opponents including Christ Church Grammar School and Methodist Ladies’ College. Students Jai Garner and Luke Robinson maintained their winning streak all the way to the Grand Final.
Their victory over Servite College secured them the prestigious title of WA State Champions, earning them a coveted spot in the upcoming Australian National Championships slated to take place on the Gold Coast later this year.
