High School Esports League (HSEL): Pioneering Competitive Excellence
The High School Esports League has solidified its status as the largest and most influential competitive gaming organization for high school students across the nation. HSEL isn’t just about gaming—it’s about fostering essential skills, building character, and preparing students for future success. Here’s what you’ve been missing:
National Recognition: With participation from nearly 17,000 students, HSEL has become a national platform for showcasing young talent. Students compete in high-stakes tournaments, earning close to $700,000 in scholarships.
16 Games and Growing: HSEL provides more games and the games students love to play! From the coveted Nintendo trio of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario Kart 9 Deluxe, and Splatoon 3 to Minecraft, Chess, and Fortnite, HSEL is always looking to expand opportunities for students.
Tiered Competition: With the lowest forfeit rate of any scholastic tournament platform at 2.9%, students know when they queue up with HSEL, they get to do what they came for–COMPETE!
