The NARAKA: BLADEPOINT University Invitational Finals Guide

The finals are here! This Sunday (4th December), the NARAKA: BLADEPOINT University Invitational finals are taking place. For the past two weeks, the tournament has been taking place online but for the final, we wanted to go BIG and have everyone participating from the same place - all sixteen university teams will be travelling to HOST Salford to compete in person.

Whether attending in person or watching online, here's how you can get involved...

WATCHING IN PERSON

In the Manchester area? You're in luck! The finals are only half an hour from the city centre.

Giveaways:

For those not participating in the tournament and only attending, we're giving away some NARAKA: BLADEPOINT goodies! By attending, you'll get entered into a random prize draw. If you arrive before 12:30pm, you'll be entered twice giving you more chance to win! You do not need to be a UK university student to win.
