Our esports lab is currently located in my classroom at the school. I teach IT classes that cover hardware and software in personal computers. The students get hands-on experiences by building new custom gaming PC's. Therefore, it makes perfect sense for my room to be used as the esports lab. However, we do not have any headphones with mics. It is loud. The esport teams are always shouting over one another. No one can make any sense of what is being said. The players need headphones and mics so that they can better communicate as a team. Miscommunication is often an issue during esports and with these headphones, that issue will be eliminated.
