 Last night, your Loy Norrix Overwatch team won their first playoff match this year against Achievement Charter Academy from Daytona, FL. Despite stiff competition, a Loy Norrix victory was never in doubt in any of the games. The win moves LN to the top 16 teams in the nationwide tournament of more than 100. The Overwatch team will also be in action this Saturday at the Michigan statewide tournament. Their first match begins at 10:30 AM on Saturday and you can watch by tuning into twitch.tv/mihsef . We hope to have as many viewers as possible as the team attempts to win the first-ever Michigan state title in Overwatch. Tune in to support the squad.
