The 34 include baseball, basketball, soccer and fencing, which Bulfin identified as \u201cphysical sports with skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The university set the quota in 1996 because of budget and space limitations, said Bulfin. Since then, only one club, women\u2019s water polo,\u00a0 has dropped out; the triathlon club replaced it. Today eight groups, including table tennis, golf and softball but not including eSports, sit on the waiting list.<\/p>\n<p>The university also prohibits using its facilities and the Northwestern trademark for business purposes. eSports could run afoul of the rule if the team uses anything related to the Wildcats, said Bulfin.\u00a0 \u201c[They need] to prove it\u2019s providing fun rather than promoting any business product.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s tricky for the group to find an acceptable name.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently we cannot say that we are the Northwestern University League [of Legends] team,\u201d said Jack Chen, one of five starting players. \u201cThe school doesn\u2019t want us to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Wildcats group includes three competitive teams: League of Legends, Smash and Hearthstone. But none can use \u201cNorthwestern\u201d in online tournaments. Instead, they&#8217;re called the Deadliest Dong NA, after team captain Robert Dong.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the League of Legends team is battling for the Collegiate StarLeague championship against more than 100 U.S. universities in Division 1, the top division. The Wildcats are ranked second in the East 8 group, which also includes Carleton College and the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.<\/p>\n<p>The 100-member group \u2013 one of 500 registered student organizations at Northwestern &#8212; meets every Saturday from 2 to 5 p.m. Players received permission to use a lecture hall with a big screen in the Technological Institute Building to livestream games and scrimmages. They also got the OK to distribute flyers and posters in the Norris University Center to recruit more members, said the group\u2019s vice president Nicholas Au-Yeung, a junior chemical engineering student. About 15 people practice regularly each week, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Bulfin also promised Yoon and his eSports group that he will reach out to the school\u2019s athletics marketing people to see if they could help promote the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne idea is to do a 20-minute game demonstration during the basketball intermission,\u201d Bulfin said. \u201cOnce they can demonstrate the student\u2019s interest, then they can suggest and request to rent the basketball stadium for a weekend, charging admission for spectators to come, and an eSports competition could be held that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Besides seeking club status, Yoon is reaching out to some stars of the game, asking them to be visiting players on the Northwestern campus.<\/p>\n<p>Yoon said he has already connected with Patrick Noonan, assistant professor of Japanese literature and culture at Northwestern, who may want to offer a history of gaming class.<\/p>\n<p>Five universities \u2013 Robert Morris, College College, University of Pikeville, Maryville University and Southwestern University \u2013 now offer scholarships for their students to play video games. According to Jose Espin, the program manager at pioneering Robert Morris, his school has given partial scholarships to 50 students since 2014.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s good to know that there are precedents set by other universities,\u201d said Yoon.<\/p>\n<p>Video gaming is certainly popular with the masses. Last year 36 million people viewed the League of Legends World Championship final &#8212; the same number who watched the Academy Awards.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: Northwestern&#8217;s League of Legends team practices in the Tech Building.
