The UK’s best League of Legends university team – Aston Aunties – beat French side Lyon in the University Esports Masters (UEM) the other day.
Here are some video highlights, featuring UK ADC Marcus “MSR” Raiyat, who finished the game with ten kills, two deaths and four assists as Lucian, plus a creep score of 302.
Technically, the game bugged out on stream at the end, so we missed the final two kills.
While it admittedly wasn’t the greatest of games, it’s always nice to see a UK side beat our French cousins.
Earlier this year, Aston beat Cambridge in the NUEL/GAME National Championship and we interviewed MSR on the win.

Aston are set to play Portugal in the final on Saturday July 23rd at 9pm CEST. Tune in to the UEMasters Twitch stream here.
