About Overwatch:  Overwatch is a fast-paced, first-person shooter, where teams are matched up six against six to battle in a series of different competitive scenarios.  Gamers choose a character to control in one of three different roles: Tank (defenders), DPS (damage inflictors), and Support (healers).  The ECC follows a format where teams try to win a best-of-five competition with a point earned per round played.  Each of the five rounds of play are different, with modes generally centered around sequentially securing control of points on the map, or escorting a payload between points on the map, with one team attacking while the other defends, or a combination of those scenarios.  Rounds can take anywhere from 15-40 minutes with an entire match extending between two to three and a half hours, depending on the competitive matchup.
News & Notes:  Now in its third year, the East Coast Conference is kicked off play five weeks ago and we have officially approached the midway point of the season.  CSI is now 5-0 after a match earlier today against Mercy College, the make-up of a match originally scheduled for Monday.  With a win against Old Westbury, CSI will officially clinch a spot in the ECC Playoffs, set for early-November.  As for Old Westbury, they come in witha  record of 1-3, and have to play CSI and Southern New Hampshire before the week is out, looking to crawl back to .500.
