EUGENE, Ore. – The Bushnell Esports Fortnite team used another dominant performance on Sunday afternoon to claim their second straight regional open victory as they head into the Collegiate Championship on Saturday.

Overwatch returned to action on Monday night, coming away with a victory over the University of Southern California via forfeit. Rocket League played a close match with Loyola Marymount on Thursday evening and League of Legends dropped out of playoff contention after the tiebreaker results did not fall in their favor.

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS
League operates in a Swiss-style format, meaning opponents will be determined after each round of play with teams competing against another team with the same number of regular-season wins. Each match is a best-of-three games. At the end of the regular season, the top-eight teams from each conference will move on to the conference playoffs. The Beacons compete in the West Conference, which consists of 56 teams.

Bushnell 14^th Place
The Beacons were stuck waiting this week on the results of a 15-way tiebreaker for the remaining three postseason spots. The tiebreaker did not go in their favor as they finished 14^th out of 56 teams in the final standings. Despite not qualifying, it was a successful season for the League team as they finished with a 4-2 record.

Bushnell starting lineup:
Week 1-2, 4-6: Justin Ault, Colton Osten-Milbert, Drew Lindley, Tyler Chase and Chad Vernon.
Week 3:  Ault, Osten-Milbert, Lindley, Chase and Priscilla Kennedy.

OVERWATCH
The Overwatch regular season consists of nine rounds of conference play. All matches are a best-of-five games. The top-three teams from each conference qualify for the postseason which begins with a Conference Play-In (2nd vs 3rd) followed by the Conference Championship (1st vs Play-In Winner).

Bushnell W, University of Southern California L
After a two-week pause, the Overwatch team was back in action on Monday evening with a couple roster changes. Jacob Gates and Cole Vamos made their season-debuts. Aaron May, Chase Dean, Tyler Chase and Brett Olmstead made up the remainder of the starting roster.

The Beacons fell in the actual game on Monday evening 3-1 (2-0, 5-4, 3-4, 2-0), however they were awarded with the win because the Trojans never checked into the match. Per the NACE rulebook, USC was given a forfeit, making it a victory on Bushnell's records.

Bushnell was also given a win in Monday's upcoming match against San Diego State University as the Aztecs were removed from competition due to reaching the maximum number of forfeits earlier in the season. This moves to Beacons to 4-4 in conference play.

The Beacons conclude the season with a match against the University of San Francisco on Monday, March 21 at 8 p.m. The match date is subject to change as next week is spring break for Bushnell.

ROCKET LEAGUE
The Rocket League regular season consists of nine rounds of conference play. All matches are a best-of-five games. There are 17 conferences separated by region, each consisting of 9 or 10 teams. The Beacons compete in the West 2 Conference. The top-three teams from each conference qualify for the postseason which begins with a Conference Play-In (2^nd vs 3^rd) followed by the Conference Championship (1^st vs Play-In Winner).

Loyola Marymount 3, Bushnell 0 (3-1, 2-1, 2-0)
Bushnell fell to the Loyola Marymount (6-1) on Thursday but kept it a close match with the top-seeded team in the conference. The Beacons did not lose by more than two goals in any of the three games. Preston Clark, Lucas Fenton and Benny Flores Jr. made up the starting lineup. Flores Jr. led the offense with two goals on the match. Clark finished with an assist and five saves, while Fenton added an assist and four saves.
