North American collegiate esports league NACE Starleague has announced a three-year partnership with esports and gaming education platform LeagueSpot.
As a result of the deal, LeagueSpot will develop NACE Starleague’s online presence within the platform, helping schools compete, communicate and build a community for its students.
The 2022-23 NACE Starleague season will kick off on September 6th. Last year saw schools compete in a range of titles such as CS:GO, Rocket League and Overwatch. Alongside the previously mentioned games, some of the titles available for the upcoming season are Dota 2, Rainbow Six Siege, VALORANT and Chess.

Andrew Barnett, LeagueSpot’s CEO, commented: “The LeagueSpot team is thrilled to be selected as the technology provider for NACE Starleague, and we’ll be doubling down on our support and engagement in this programme.
“Building a long-term relationship with NACE Starleague will allow us to build tools and technology that brings value to member schools that is unmatched in any other program in the industry.”
