Garrett and Gabriel Armstrong, of Rochester, are two recent
Indiana Digital Learning School (INDLS) graduates that signed to be
a part of Manchester University’s Esports team for the 2023 fall
semester. The brothers, one graduating early, received academic
scholarships for $22,000 per year, as well as Esports scholarships
for $3,000 per year. In addition, they both graduated high school
at INDLS with a certification in Cybersecurity.
Esports are multiplayer video games that are played at a club or
professional level. As students of INDLS, Garrett and Gabriel were
able to compete in the Indiana State Esports Network, which is a
ranked competitive Esports Team and Club. Both were champions this
past season in League of Legends, as well as Stride National
Champions in League of Legends and Valorant for multiple seasons in
a row. INDLS takes pride in providing its students with
opportunities to work with others on a team, even in a virtual
setting, and helping them get into games that will connect them
with college recruiters, like those at Manchester University.
Now, the Armstrong brothers will continue their success in
gaming at Manchester University, where they will compete in The
National Association of Collegiate Esports and be on a team that
has been the Champion of the Great Lakes Esports Conference for
three consecutive years.
