ELOI 2026 - LAN Finals 🇮🇪 We can’t wait for next year! ⚡️

For many young people, connection starts online. In games, friendships form, confidence builds, and communities take shape. The World Health Organisation defines health as including social well-being. Gaming is now one of the spaces where that well-being is shaped every day.

ELOI 2026 - That’s a Wrap! 🇮🇪 What a season. It’s been a pleasure working alongside the @LeagueofIreland to deliver this year’s ELOI, and to continue building real momentum for Irish esports through competition, community, and collaboration. From the opening fixtures to an electric LAN Finals at the @IrelandNEC, the level of play, passion, and support throughout has been outstanding. The finals were a true highlight - a standout event, incredible energy, and a fitting end to the competition. A huge thank you to everyone involved: 🔸 Our players, who delivered exceptional quality throughout, and especially our finalists who travelled from across the country to compete on the LAN stage. 🔸 The League of Ireland and EA teams for their continued support and promotion. 🔸 The clubs across the country, who brought pride and engagement across social media. 🔸 And the fans, who tuned in and backed the league every step of the way. This year marks another strong step forward for Irish esports, and reinforces the opportunity to keep growing the space alongside partners who share that vision. All of us here in WYLDE are incredibly proud of what was achieved and excited for what’s ahead! ⚡️
