MARQUETTE — One of the few Northern Michigan University sports to hold competition this fall, the Wildcats’ eSports team defeated Olivet Nazarene University on Nov. 21 to improve to 3-1 this season.

The Wildcats dominated the pick and ban phase in Game 1, coming out with strong lane matchups, and through controlled game play posted a 19-3 victory.

Game 2 was much the same, a 22-8 win that took just 23 minutes.

Named most valuable player for both games and the series was Dontae Bailey, known as “NMU Inferno.” He recorded a perfect KDA in Game 1 with a scoreline of 7/0/4, then added a 2/1/13 line in Game 2, making for a total 9/1/17 and 26.0 KDA while leading the team in CS in both games.
