How We Got Here
Nov 2021
Founded at Susan Wagner High School
Edison Zhong wanted to play interschool esports. The Public Schools Athletic League had no support for it, so he built the league himself.
Week 1
200+ sign-ups, one school
The response at Edison's own school made the unmet demand impossible to ignore. This needed to be bigger than one campus.
2022 →
A five-borough league, student-built
Other high school club leaders joined in, growing EZ Esports into a city-wide league run from scratch by students, for students.
"Shaping the leaders of tomorrow through their passion for esports today."
