AMS Esports

So, what is Esports?
In simple terms Esports is a multiplayer video game played competitively for spectators on either a PlayStation, Xbox, or PC.
I am the game manager for ‘call of duty’ a popular game within the AMS Esports community, where we compete against other Corps and Services in a gaming league. I run the team trials, select the team members based on their gaming ability, organise games and training and much more. They are also a number of other games people can take part in. Being part of AMS Esports has allowed me to attend the AMS Sports awards in 2022 and the AGC Esports comp/awards, where I received a medal at the Insomnia gaming festival. I have been invited back to the Insomnia gaming festival to assist as well as compete in gaming events and army engagements.
Currently, as far as I am aware, I am the only RADC service person involved in AMS Esport. It would be great to have more RADC personnel get involved. I feel
it has benefitted me in a variety of ways from building my confidence, to improving my management skills.
