After a careful search to find the right fit for the Washington College Esports Club to compete, the ECAC stood head and shoulders above the rest. The ECAC hosts a comprehensive esports program that in the inaugural season involved 23 schools, fielding over 100 teams across six different game titles that the ECAC sponsors. The ECAC's esports platform is expanding the geographic footprint of the Conference nationally. Additionally, the ECAC is becoming involved in sponsoring competitions and leagues involving other varsity and club sports that do not fall under the umbrella of the NCAA.

The biggest benefit for Washington College is the fact that the club will be able to enter multiple teams per game title and not be limited to just one team per school. Everyone that wants to compete will be able to at Washington College and that stood out as the main factor behind choosing to partner with the ECAC. Currently, the club will compete in Overwatch, League of Legends and Super Smash Brothers Ultimate with more titles with competitive teams to be added before the start of the 2019-20 season.
