National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE) and the North American League of Legends Championship Series Players Association (NALCSPA) have joined forces to create educational opportunities for LCS players.
The alliance also gives players a chance to enter coaching, analysis, and administrative positions at collegiate esports programs across North America.
The current nature of esports often sees people having to choose between pursuing education or taking the plunge to become a professional esports player. This partnership is said to be “the first of many steps” to address such an issue.
