Eleven UH Mānoa esports team members and one student from UH West Oʻahu earned college credits serving as interns during the tournament.

UH Mānoa esports students will work directly with the Overwatch League to learn about the operations of these world-class events.

Students will attend monthly meetings virtually with other international participants throughout the spring semester.
