EUGENE, Ore.  –  The Bushnell Esports team found their rhythm in week two with strong performances in Fortnite and Apex Legends along with a pair of teammate matchups in NBA 2K and College Football.
 
NBA 2K27
 
Charlie Box and Cooper Reineke will play a seven-week regular season. Each match is a best-of-three format. Teams with four wins qualify for the play-ins, while teams with five or more wins automatically qualify for the playoffs.
 
Match 2: Bushnell 2 (Box), Bushnell 1 (Reineke)
 
Timberwolves 57, Spurs 55 (OT)
Spurs 57, Thunder 49
Rockets 54, Thunder 42
 
The chances were slim, but due to the swiss format, the Beacons were assigned a match against each other. After an overtime win by Reineke in game one, Box took the next two games to improve to 2-0.
 
FORTNITE
Zero Build: LEADERBOARD
Builds: LEADERBOARD
 
Fortnite is played over a nine-week regular season with four matches every Tuesday (ZB) and Thursday (Builds) at 5:00 p.m. Each division was separated into three groups with two groups from each division playing each week, meaning teams play a total of six weeks during the regular season. Both Bushnell teams were placed in Group 1 of their corresponding competition day, meaning both duos will play in weeks 1,2,4,5,7 and 8.
 
Points are earned based on placement and eliminations. At the end of the regular season, the top 50 teams with the most points over the nine weeks will move to Finals.
 
The duos competing for the Beacons are Audrick Guerrero Escobar/Yannick Guerrero Escobar (Zero Build) and Trent Parks/Shawn Petty (Build).  
 
Week 2: Guerrero Escobar (94 points, 22^nd)
Week 2: Petty/Parks (92 points, 24^th)
 
A. Guerrero Escobar and Y. Guerrero Escobar used a more cautious strategy in week two and it paid off as the Beacons came away with 94 points, bringing their total to 114 points with four weeks to play. Parks and Petty followed suit with the most points they have ever scored, shooting them up the leaderboard.
 
Due to the format of this season, both teams will have week three off.  
 
COLLEGE FOOTBALL 27
 
Caden Hoerauf and Mason Monrroy will play a seven-week regular season. Each match is a best-of-three format. Teams with four wins qualify for the play-ins, while teams with five or more wins automatically qualify for the playoffs.

Once again, the Beacons were assigned a match against each other, despite 28 other teams coming into the week with a 1-0 record.
 
APEX LEGENDS
 
The Beacons are competing in Apex Legends for the first time in school history. Each week, Nick McGowen, Caleb Lemley and Agustin Morales will play six games split across two maps from the season's rotating pool (World's Edge, Storm Point, E-District). Points are earned based on placement and eliminations. The top-20 teams from the seven-week regular season will advance to the playoffs.
