2013 is here and it’s time to start thinking about eSports in the year ahead with Insomnia48 not actually that far away (10 weeks!). Our partners at Multiplay UK wanted to start pushing out some more blog style content to you guys from the eSports department at Multiplay towers* so you can see some of the reasoning behind some of the many hundreds of choices they make regarding rule-sets, schedules and other tournament details. So here is our good friend, Matt ‘Kharne’ Macdonald writing his first eSports blog for the Insomnia community.

insomnia48 (i48) runs from 22nd March to 25th March 2013 at the Telford International Centre and your Sweetpatch TV team will be there running all the FIFA 13 activity for you. For many gamers in the UK, and indeed Europe and beyond, the Insomnia LAN is now a British institution and staple part of the gaming calendar, with the event playing host to some of the biggest eSports tournaments in Europe, and annual host of the UK qualifiers for the World Cyber Games. The event, held 3 times a year at The International Centre in Telford, accommodates over 3000 gamers for 5 days; it’s certainly grown from it’s humble beginnings of no more than 50 all playing off one 10mb switch!
While the year is starting anew, Multiplay UK‘s fantastic offer of 20% off Early Bird discount tickets to the Insomnia Gaming Festival 48 is coming to an end. Today, Monday 7th January at 6pm, will see the end of our good friend, the Early Bird, so get your tickets now whilst you still can!
Before you all go off to the holiday season (and eat drink, be merry and practise FIFA 13 of course), our partners at Multiplay UK thought they would give you some food for thought from the Multiplay eSports department!
2013 is going to be amazing, with some of the biggest eSports tournaments in the UK ever! insomnia48 will host loads of awesome tournaments as usual, including the better than ever FIFA 13 Pro 1v1 Tournament.
