Continuing our top tens of 2017, here’s our top 10 videos we produced this year, in no particular order.
UK League of Legends top plays of 2016 montage
We asked you to send in your top plays last year and ADC Joekerism then put together and edited the above video. The aim was to simply showcase players within the UK League of Legends scene.
There’s another one for 2017 in the works.

It’s ironic that the one video I have a laugh with and make as a muckabout is my most popular bit of content of 2017…
Dom is an award-winning writer and finalist of the Esports Journalist of the Year 2023 award. He graduated from Bournemouth University with a 2:1 degree in Multi-Media Journalism in 2007.
As a long-time gamer having first picked up the NES controller in the late ’80s, he has written for a range of publications including GamesTM, Nintendo Official Magazine, industry publication MCV and others. He worked as head of content for the British Esports Federation up until February 2021, when he stepped back to work full-time on Esports News UK and offer esports consultancy and freelance services. 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.
