About

  • A new top tier for 25/26, mirroring “First Team” structures in traditional sports (like varsity rugby or football). It’s where each university fields its strongest representative team.
  • Full national broadcasts (Mon–Thu), LAN National Finals in May, and recognition as the university’s top team. The focus is high performance, visibility, and varsity-level standards.
  • To elevate esports to the same status as other top-tier student sports, we believe that this format will help to increase awareness of esports within the competing institutions and create a reason to start seeking more support for the Societies, players and coaches etc.


  • The seeds for the event are as follows:

1. Trinity Quacks
2. UCD Leviathans
3. SETU Vikings
4. QUB Whiffers
5. Maynooth Martyrs
6. DCU Clutch or Drink
7. UCC Boring Players
8. TUD A
9. ATU Aegis
