BECKLEY, W.Va. — WVU Tech esports continued its busy stretch of Fortnite competition this week, posting steady performances in both ECAC Zero Build Duos on Tuesday night and Fortnite Battle Royale Trios on Thursday.
The Golden Bears entered the week sitting 39th out of 169 teams in the ECAC Zero Build Duos standings with 461 points, and 62nd out of 86Â teams in Trios standings with 164 points. Both totals were prior to this week's matches.
Zero Build Duos (Nov. 4)
The duo of Dr.unrushed (Ryan Hayden) and TheWacki1 (Keith Karwacki) collected 78 points across three matches.
- Game One: 6th place — Dr.unrushed earned 2 eliminations (44 pts)
- Game Two: 17th place — Dr.unrushed added 1 elimination (20 pts)
- Game Three: 19th place — 0 eliminations (14 pts)
The effort continues building Tech's cumulative score as teams push toward postseason qualification. Under the updated ECAC structure, the top 35 duos automatically qualify for Finals, while teams placed 36th–65th move into the Semifinals with a path to advance.
This week's points will be added to the standings when the conference updates the leaderboard.
Fortnite Battle Royale Trios (Nov. 6)
Tech's trio recorded 38 points on the night behind placement-driven scoring.
- Game One: 20th place, 0 eliminations — 0 points
- Game Two: 8th place, 0 eliminations — 30 points
- Game Three: 16th place — 1 elimination from karl1x (8 pts)
The squad remains in the mix as teams look ahead to postseason structure. The ECAC announced Tuesday that the top 35 trios will now qualify directly for Finals, while teams ranked 36th–65th will advance to Semifinals, where only the top 15 will earn a Finals berth.
Tech's updated standings total will reflect this week's 38-point performance once the leaderboard refreshes.
What's Next
WVU Tech continues ECAC Fortnite competition next week with Zero Build Duos action on Tuesday, Nov. 11 at 8 p.m., followed by Trios play on Thursday, Nov. 13.
