Overwatch: London Spitfire Join Forces with UK Universities
London’s Overwatch League team: The London Spitfire have announced even more viewing parties as they attempt to take back their championship title throughout stage 2 of this year’s league. However, this new batch of viewing parties will be taking place at UK universities.
Through a partnership with NUEL (The National University Esports League) a range of universities across the UK will be hosting viewing parties for London Spitfire matches.
