Working with Highland Park High School social worker Fred Willer, [Ryan] Rockwell is hoping to start esports and gaming communities at each of the local high schools, using the Gamers HQ gaming lounge, 2027 S.W. Gage Blvd. in Topeka, as a hub for it all. … While esports has blossomed into competitive professional and collegiate-level leagues and teams, high schools aren’t quite there — yet, said [Fred] Willer. It can be difficult for schools on tight budgets to afford the necessary computers, consoles and setups needed to host teams, but that’s why he loved Rockwell’s idea to have Gamers HQ step in to provide a space and equipment for students from local schools.
