Ready Player One? Anchorage students compete in E-sports this school year

Students in the Anchorage School District started competing in E-sports this school year.

A competitive gaming club started up at Dimond High School and has grown in the spring semester.

Dimond High E-sports president Noah Marrs says the competition helps to bring the gaming community across the state together.

"For league members, it's a good tournament style. Lots of competition," Marrs said. "There's state (competition) between Alaska and all the teams in Alaska. And another state Connecticut, I think to play against."

Dimond High School recently won medals in an Alaska finals competition.
