As a long-time follower of politics and gaming, I can’t help but be thrilled by the remarkable stride we’ve witnessed with Tim Walz’s acknowledgement of esports. Being a Minnesotan myself, I’ve seen Governor Walz’s passion for sports firsthand, whether it’s football coaching or supporting local teams.


Today marks an unusual day as a Vice-Presidential candidate, Tim Walz, recognizes the world of esports. This well-known political figure, who is now Kamala Harris’ VP, recently congratulated a Minnesota high school on their Valorant varsity team’s State Championship win in 2022.

As a devoted sports enthusiast and Minnesota’s governor since 2019, I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my love for various games like football with my kids. Now, it appears that my diverse sporting background includes a new addition – esports!

In the year 2022, the Apple Valley High School’s top Valorant team emerged victorious at the State Championship. Governor Walz duly recognized this significant achievement by the school, a gesture that was characteristic of his consistent recognition of various sports as well.

Hearty congratulations on completing an unbeaten season and clinching the Minnesota Varsity League State Championship in Valorant! Achieving competitive victories isn’t just about brute physical power or swift reflexes; it calls for mental resilience and strategic thinking as well.

As a passionate gamer, I’m truly pumped up about Walz’s recognition of esports! For years, it seemed like some politicians were trying to put the brakes on gaming at different levels. But now, it feels like we’re finally getting the acknowledgement we deserve!
