Week 8 already? We're closing in on Finals!
Week 7 lookback 🗞️ | Matchups & Caster Picks ⚔️ | The Leaderboard 🏆
Hi Collegiate Player,
How did we get here already? We’re now just 2 weeks out from being reunited once again at our LAN Finals in Dublin - grab some tickets! ☘️
So, what’s new? 📰
We’ve been busy, so we’ve got a lot to share! Here's some of the headlines in case you missed them 👇
Due to different reasons early in the semester; Valorant, League of Legends and Counter-Strike 2 will continue into our planned gap week next week - but that means even more action so realistically it’s a good thing 🙋
Last Wednesday we crowned our first Winter Champion - nickymoky of UCD took home first place in TFT which concluded early due to a new set being released ♟️
The last couple of weeks have seen us going hard on short form content, check out our Insta Reels and TikTok - you might be starring in one! 🎞️
What’s to come this week? 👀
We’ve been in touch with our casters and admins, they’ve selected a banger week ahead for your viewing pleasure! Whether you catch the final streams of Rocket League and F1 24 before we head to LAN or continue to watch it hot up in the other titles, it’s going to be a hectic one! 👀

Your MVP’s from last week 🐐
As always, apologies if you feel like we missed you - but you can always let us know in the discord! 💬
It would be rude to not mention the name Nickymoky of UCD, as they were crowned our first ever Ireland Collegiate TFT champion and they did it in style with 3 2 star 5 costs to claim the title. Next up is CM2K, the UL superstar, who opened up some tough rounds for their team and broke through the SETU wall at points that seemed lost. Finally we’ve got Slime, another UCD student, who spent map 1 dominating sites and then hopped into map 2 equipped with a Judge and a point to prove 🏅
TFT it’s been a blast 💥
We wanted to highlight the success of TFT and give a shoutout to all those who have helped us add it to our Ireland Collegiate title roster - whether it was in a player, broadcast, admin, viewer or any other capacity. TFT was a new title that we were unsure about at first but we quickly saw a huge amount of signups, great viewer numbers and it become an instant classic 💚

How’s the leaderboard looking? 📋
So, since we last checked in we’ve seen the comeback arc of UCD who are now back at the top! However, just a mere point behind the leaders we have TCD who have been a force to be reckoned with all semester and it’s definitely far from over yet. Sat in the third place we’ve got TUD, the reigning champs - gearing up for a push we reckon. Below them at 30 points we’ve got both DCU and SETU and just following is MTU at 28.
Your finals weekend schedule! 🏆
As you may have heard, we’re heading back to our home over at Dogpatch Labs in Dublin for our Winter Finals across December 6th, 7th and 8th. Below is a finalised full schedule of our games across the weekend! 📋
