Rocket League

One of the four Mounds View esports teams, Rocket League, consists of three players: freshman Elliot Fuglsby, senior Birgen Endberg and sophomore Captain Gavin Wilson. “Rocket League is a competitive game where you play soccer with customizable cars. It can get pretty advanced on technique, but it’s fun no matter if you’re a beginner or a pro,” said Wilson.

The Rocket League team competes in 2v2 matches, meaning that only two of the members can play at a time. They take it upon themselves to choose which players play which rounds, and with a smaller team, they seem to have no trouble organizing themselves. “We work well together, and switch off who plays what game,” said Wilson.

Wilson personally enjoys the game because it combines two of his interests. “I had been playing soccer for a while and I looked up video games related to it. I loved how there was so much to the game, and it combined my favorite sport with my favorite hobby, which is working on cars,” he said.
