CONEL Cyphers League of Legends team win regional championships and progress to national finals

CCCG Esports Academy triumphs as its second Esports team qualifies for the National Finals.

The Capital City College Group (CCCG) Esports Academy is celebrating once again as the CONEL Cyphers League of Legends team has progressed to the final round of the national competition. League of Legends is a multi-player strategy game which challenges two teams of powerful champions to compete against each other.

The League of Legends team, which consists of 5 learners from across the college group, claimed victory against MidKent College in an online match on 24 April. The team convened at  The College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London’s (CONEL) Enfield Centre to participate in the match, which British Esports broadcasted on their official stream.

After winning an impressive 9 of their 11 matches, the CONEL Cyphers League of Legends took home the regional title and will join the CCCG Esports Academy Valorant team at the National finals in Nottingham on the 7 July.

The League of Legends team consists of five students – Luis Costa, Rojelio Kuka, Alex Pawlak, Ilia Keris and Ben Knight. The players are studying a range of courses spanning Engineering, Physics, Chemistry and Creative Media at CCCG colleges.

Finlay Stewart, Esports Coach and Lecturer in Computing at CONEL said: “The team has done amazingly to get this far. They are very busy with their studies, employment and other priorities, so they have done an amazing job of making it to the finals all things considered. They have a lot of talent and that is what has carried them to the final hurdle!”

Alex Pawlak, one of the League of Legends team players, said: “I genuinely am just happy to be able to play in a competitive environment at a college and reaching the finals is just a bonus!”
