We held our first social event earlier this month – check out our highlights here and feel free to suggest what you think we should host next.
A mix of people attended from across UK esports including casters, coaches, community members, team owners, tournament organisers and ENUK readers.
FM-eSports, CompeteLeague, EGL and others were present – even someone from Taiwan’s AHQ (!) turned up. People played games, had a few drinks, watched the LCS on the big screen and grabbed some food too. It was a good night.
The event – open to all – took place at Stratford’s Secret Weapon gaming pub.
You can check out our image gallery on Facebook here and a video slideshow below.
Future ENUK events: What would you like to see?
We’re planning to host similar events at Secret Weapon and perhaps other venues in the future; maybe something at I-series.
What would you like to see from us? Pub quizzes? Awards? Board game nights? More social gatherings? Events elsewhere?
Let us know by filling in this quick survey and we hope to see you at an upcoming event soon.

Note: Dom still produces the British Esports newsletter on a freelance basis, so our coverage of British Esports is always kept simple – usually just covering the occasional press release – because of this conflict of interest.
