Five teams competed in the MACS League on Legends tournament. The teams competed in a round robin format to determine the four teams that would move on to a single elimination bracket. After each team played four games, the standings looked like this:

• 4-0 Temple Cherry (varsity)
• 3-1 Drexel 2
• 2-2 Drexel 1
• 1-3 New Jersey Institute of Technology
• 0-4 Temple White (JV)

The semifinals featured an all-Drexel battle between the university’s two teams, while Temple’s varsity team faced NJIT in the other semi. Drexel’s Division 2 team beat Drexel Division 1 just like they did in the round robin phase to advance to the final, where they met Temple. The Owls came out on top over the Dragons in the best-of-three final. Temple ended up going undefeated in the tournament.

In Denver, four teams competed in Overwatch 2. The first stage of the tournament was a round robin competition with the teams each playing three best-of-three matches. The results looked like this:

• 3-0 University of Colorado Boulder
• 2-1 Denver University
• 1-2 Western Colorado University
• 0-2 Fort Lewis Skyhawks

CU Boulder and DU then met in a best-of-five final, which CU won 3-0. It was a dominating performance from the Buffaloes who had a perfect tournament. Fun fact: CU Boulder’s football team also dominated on the same day as they beat Utah 49-24.
