Esports  had 2 weeks of NJCAAE Regional Playoff action November 10th through November 21st. Rocket League came in as the #1 seed as the West Region Champions, as Overwatch 2 and Valorant came in as the #2 seed in their region.

Rocket League started round 1 against #4 Central Community College. During the regular season, CBC defeated Central in both meetings with a score of 3-1. With starters Brigham, London, and Miguel, the Hawks were ready to play for round 1 of Regional Playoffs. CBC showed a dominating showing against Central CC, defeating them swiftly 3-0, with game 1 score of 6-1, game 2 with the score of 9-1, and game 3 with the score of 3-2 with an overtime showing. Basin had a meeting with #2 Salt Lake Community College in winner's round 2. CBC had split their meetings with SLCC in the regular season but ended with an overall higher record to secure the #1 seed. It was a brawl between both teams, but CBC came out as the victors with a 3-0 sweep, with game 1 out scoring 3-1, game 2 4-3, and game 3 2-1. Columbia Basin the following week faced off against #2 Salt Lake Community College again in Grand Finals, after SLCC defeated #3 Laramie County Community College in Loser's Finals. With a bracket-reset extra life for the Hawks, closing it out in the first series was on the mind of the Hawks. In the best-of-7 series, CBC was victorious in 4-1 (4-3, 1-4, 4-2, and 5-3) and secured a #1 seed spot for the NJCAAE National Playoffs!

Overwatch 2 with a bye for round 1 waited to face the winner of #3 Brookdale Community College and #6 Western Iowa Technical Community College. CBC met Brookdale in round 2 for regional play. CBC defeated Brookdale in the regular season 3-1, giving them the higher seed for regional playoffs. Daniel "Velcon" Wilson came in to start for the Hawks on DPS while Skylar was filling as a support. CBC went down 0-2 in the best-of-5 series before shifting Skylar back to DPS and bringing Cade "Alyxian" Horn in on support. While map 3 showed a stronger team, it was not enough as CBC fell 0-3 against Brookdale and moved to play for a 3rd or 4th seed position for Nationals the following week. CBC went head-to-head against #4 Blinn Community College, which they defeated 3-0 in the regular season in a clean sweep. It was no different in regional play for their match, with a swift 3-0 victory, securing the 3rd seed for National Playoffs. With the 3rd seed, the Hawks will go against Brookdale CC again in round 1 of National Playoffs.

Valorant played against #3 Salt Lake Community College round 1 of West Region Playoffs. The Hawks defeated SLCC in a close series in the regular season 2-0. In another close match up, SLCC came out on top with a 0-2 series win against the Hawks (10-13 & 5-13). Pushing down to play of the 3rd and final spot for a National Playoff ticket, CBC were set to play #4 Arizona Western College. In their first meeting, CBC won convincingly with a 2-0 sweep. It was another quick showing for the Hawks over AWC, with another 2-0 sweep (13-3 & 13-1). With a win over AWC, CBC Valorant secured the final spot as a 3rd seed team for NJCAAE National Playoffs.
