Esports News UK charity stream: First 1v1s confirmed!

Dom Sacco, Senior Editor

Last Updated: 25/02/2017

Our 24-hour charity stream kicks off on Saturday March 4th from midday, and here are our first batch of confirmed participants.
We’ll be raising money for an amazing charity called SpecialEffect, as part of their GameBlast initiative. They put fun, inclusion and confidence back into the lives of people with disabilities by helping them to play video games.
Please help us reach our (incredibly ambitious) target of £5,000 so that people with disabilities can enjoy the games we take for granted.
To donate, please visit our Justgiving page here.
We will have plenty of League of Legends matches but hope to have a small mix of other competitive games too, such as CSGO, Rocket League, Hearthstone and others. Bookmark our Twitch channel here.
We’re still looking for people to take part and casters to cast this! It’s open to everyone. If you’re interested in taking part, please fill this form in so we can schedule everything.
