More than simple gaming, Esports is growing across the nation with many colleges adding Esports programs to their academic and athletic offerings.

In the summer of 2021, the City of Lake City hosted their first Smackdown Esports Tournament and now hosts pop-up gaming sessions, mini tournaments, and camps for local students ages 12-18.

In 2023, the tournament will become part of the city's first anime, gaming, and entertainment convention, A.G.E. Con!
