Esports builds more than you think. At FORGE 2026, we heard it straight from the competitors — esports teaches you to communicate under pressure, solve problems with your team, and find your people. The Army National Guard gets it. Their Texas team was on-site at the Boeing Center Tech Port with VR experiences showing real Guard missions — helicopter rescues, wildfire response, hurricane relief — and connecting with a community of gamers who share the same values: teamwork, leadership, and showing up for others. To Staff Sergeant Flores and the entire Army National Guard team — thank you for making FORGE 2026 possible and investing in the next generation.

Thank you CEN and Alex for the article! We'll be working hard to ensure SEC 2027 is another event worth attending 🔥
