Esports News UK's very first event took place in April 2017 at Stratford's Secret Weapon gaming pub. Check out our image gallery here.
It was a free London meet-up for ENUK readers, players, coaches, casters, managers, fans and anyone else in the UK esports/LoL scene. We had some systems set up for gaming and got the drinks flowing at the bar for some networking.
By making a regular contribution on Patreon, you will allow us to produce better content, cover more games and pay for better web hosting (which means our site won't go down anymore when we write popular stories like Man U getting into esports and Gross Gore's Twitch ban).
We recently switched over to a faster, more stable and reliable managed web host but the costs for this are high (almost £1,000 per year). See the bottom of this page for full info on where your donations will go.
We are not expecting much, but any donation you can offer would be massively appreciated - and we have a bunch of support rewards on offer too.
