Darren Kwan, Producer of Australian Esports University League, added: “We are excited to be teaming up with Chatime for the 2020 season, this will be our third and biggest year of the university program. A core objective for us is to promote a fun, safe and inclusive university esports ecosystem for students.

Esports Insider says: With the popularity of bubble tea bursting into markets all over the world in recent years, it’s surprising that it has taken until now for a partnership to emerge within esports.
