==About==

*The continuation of last year’s structure — inclusive, social, and designed for all players, from casual gamers to second teams building toward Premier level.
*Multiple teams are allowed per university/college.
*It’s society-driven. Matches often feature community casting, more students get to participate, and it’s the best place to grow campus culture and friendships through esports.
*Semester finals are online, on the same night as the preceding rounds and these games will be broadcast live.


*The seeds for the event are as follows:

1. TCD Rush B<br />
2. SETU Vikings B<br />
3. DCU No Scoped<br />
4. TUD B<br />
5. QUB gluebagZ<br />
6. TUS Dragons<br />

==Rules==

===Format===

* Group stage:
