==About==

* Premier Division is for the best team in each of the game titles from your institution against the rest of the island, broadcast all season.
* Premier is your institution against the rest of the island, broadcast all season. It launched last year with ten universities and 38 teams and did exactly what it was built to do — raised the ceiling without closing the door underneath it. UCD go into Season Ten as defending Premier Division Champions.
* Rounds start on 12 October.

The seeds as such for the event were as follows:<ref>[https://www.challengermode.com/s/IrelandCollegiate/tournaments/55805824-56aa-41e1-9711-08df1018fca6/participants Premier Winter - CS2 - Participants - Tournament | Challengermode], irelandcollegiate.com</ref>
