The 2022 high school esports fall season has kicked off across North America, with competitive gaming teams going head-to-head on the PlayVS platform, which the NFHS Network and state associations officially recognize.
It’s an intriguing addition to the high school sports landscape, which has already grown to include scholarships at the collegiate level for esports athletes.
And as part of the official recognition as a high school sport, USA TODAY High School Sports and PlayVS have teamed up to provide state and regional rankings all season.
Below are the best of the best in “League of Legends” after the first three weeks of competition.
