TROJAN LAN EVENTS & THE TROJAN GAME CIRCUIT

WHAT IS A LAN EVENT?

LAN stands for Local Area Network, which simply means students play together in the same room rather than online from home. LAN events are how esports tournaments are played at every level, from local competitors to world championships. They give students a chance to compete in person, connect with classmates who share their interests, and be part of a supervised, school-based community.
