This is just a few of them…
QUICK QUESTIONS? SORTED.
Who can play?
Anyone who can field a five. We're not checking diplomas or whether you actually went to college — former students, current students and working pros are all welcome. Treat it as an open tournament; the alumni spirit is the flavour, not a gate.
How much is it, and what do I get?
€50 per team, per title — a tenner a player. That covers your team's place across the full four-week run, broadcast coverage, the platform setup, the event Discord, and a shot at the €300 prize pool. A share of every entry also goes back into the Collegiate Series, helping fund competition for the players coming up behind you. Entering more than one title? It's €50 for each.
When does it run?
Registration closes Thursday 2 July. The group stage runs through July from the week of 6 July, and Finals Week is the week of 27 July. Your night depends on your game: Valorant Tuesdays, CS2 Wednesdays, League Thursdays — evening games from 7:00pm.
How many players do I need?
Five starters, plus up to two subs. The captain registers and pays on behalf of the team.
Is it online or in person?
Fully online — play from anywhere on the island (or off it). The prize pool's the headline this time round, so there's no LAN finals to travel to.
What’s the format?
It scales with the field. Each title plays evening games on its night through a July group stage, then Finals Week decides it. We'll confirm the exact group stage, match format and times once entries close and we know the numbers.
How do we set the team up after paying?
You'll get a confirmation email that walks you through it: join the Discord, build your team on Challengermode, then finish your profile on Nemesis to get placed — all before your first fixture.
ESPORTS DOESN'T END AFTER UNIVERSITY.
Reunite your old collegiate roster, rally your mates, or build something new.
Captains: grab your four, lock in your title and we'll take it from there.
