The lack of ‘Memes of the Month’ content on Esports News UK has been downright appalling this year, so here’s a bunch of random crap to quell your appetite (for now).

Memes of the month
This month goes to ITV for producing an odd video segment on esports and our favourite old school UK scene weirdo Peter “Ped” Goldingay for spotting it.
