“We’re really excited to be involved in helping to facilitate, not just the next generation of esports players from the UK, but also the next generation of esports industry professionals.”

Rob Black of ESL UK said: “We’re really excited to be involved in helping to facilitate, not just the next generation of esports players from the UK, but also the next generation of esports industry professionals. Being able to do that while supporting students in our local Leicester community makes this one of the highlights of our year so far.”
Amy Yu, Varsity Games MD, added: ‘There’s growing enthusiasm for gaming within UK universities – and the mission of Varsity Games is to provide an authentic grassroots platform to recognise and reward student players competing to represent their universities.
