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
2. SETU Vikings B
3. DCU No Scoped
4. TUD B
5. QUB gluebagZ
6. TUS Dragons
