- 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.
