COMBAT TESTED GAMING LEAGUES

The VFW, America’s largest organization of combat veterans has teamed up with Crew Social Club to offer our nation’s veterans a seamless and innovative way to connect – Combat Tested Gaming leagues!


Gaming and the connectivity it brings has proven to enhance veterans’ mental well-being through social engagement and skill development in a supportive and inclusive environment. Through these leagues, we’re calling on all service members and veterans to join in on the gaming action, build camaraderie and have fun doing it.

How it
works

Step 1

Pick Your
game

We offer Rocket League and Valorant in multiple skill levels. Choose the game and skill level that is right for you!

Step 2

register

Once you decide on your game and skill level, click on the link to join the team. Your spot isn’t confirmed on the team until you complete registration. 

Step 3

keep an eye out for an email

You may be wondering what happens if your team doesn’t fill. That can happen, but that doesn’t mean you don’t get to play! If your team does not fill within one week of the league, we will reach out to try to move you to another team.

Step 4

Get Ready to Play!

Once the team you joined is full, we will email all players on the team to connect you and as for a team captain. Once a captain is set, we pass the team over to them! They will be your point of contact for the season.

FAqs

You will play from home so you must own a console (Playstation, Xbox or PC) and the game you will be playing. Live streaming is welcome!

No. This is free for Veterans only courtesy of the VFW

Any active-duty military or veteran who is 18yo and above can play in the leagues.

All games are played online at the specific time in the schedule.  You will join the Discord channel and then breakout to play against your opponent.

You must have access to an Xbox, Playstation or PC as well as an internet connection. 

We are only using games that are free to download. If you do not have a console (PS4, PS5, Xbox X/S, Xbox One or PC), you would need to purchase one in order to play. 

The league says either 5v5 or 2v2 so it’s either 5 or 2 on a team max. You can have more if you want subs but you can also pick up subs week to week in the discord. 

The first night, all players will report to the League Voice Channel at 7pm CDT. We have a welcome speech for all players to explain the league and answer questions.

After week 1, teams will report to their game room between 6:45pm-7pm CDT to meet with their opponent before beginning play. 

All scores will be reported in your assigned game room for each week. There will be a match results text channel in your game room. You will report scores and screenshots after your match each week. 

To expedite us recording scores, please type out the results as well (total wins for Rocket League and total kills for Warzone)

You can download Valorant here.

You can download Rocket League here.

Currently, we are only running Rocket League and Valorant. As we look to expand the leagues, we will discuss which games to add.

We have ran Warzone in the past but unfortunately the gameplay was toxic and did not fit our culture. If you have a specific preference, please fill out this form. 

To report rule violations, toxic behavior, or match disputes, please notify our league director at events@kccrew.com. Keep in mind that this does not guarantee the score being changed as each report will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

You can find all rules for each e-sport on their specific league page when you sign in here.

We also have leagues for you! Our recommendation is to download each game and try it out. All league games are free to download and play. Once you do that, choose whichever game you like better and join one of the social/rec teams in that league.
