UK university esports body NUEL has opened up its tournaments to students based in the Republic of Ireland for the first time.
Eligible Irish universities have now been added to the NUEL’s website so that players in Ireland can register to take part in future tournaments.
NUEL said in an announcement post that it hopes this a long-term change, though it did stipulate that there may be game-specific tournament licensing restrictions from publishers which could limit a tournament to UK-only, and that community partners who run tournaments on the NUEL website are free to determine their own eligibility rules.
