Each of the final four teams is excited to compete at the Collegiate Rocket League’s live finals in Arlington, but no team is more excited than the University of North Texas.
Ask most Collegiate Rocket League fans what they know about Penn State’s team and they’ll tell you two things.
1) It’s DaCota “Doodle” Eaton’s team, and
2) No one expected any team from the Eastern Conference to qualify for the finals, let alone PSU.
Only one team will enter the finals with a flawless record, and it’s also a team that predicted their place at the start of the season.
Institutional support can have a huge factor on a team’s success, and there’s no better example than Akron’s varsity esports program competing in their first season of Collegiate Rocket League.

A relatively old video I created highlighting a high-profile team. I edited, mixed, and made graphics for this piece.
