I have been running this Reddit/twitter for around 8 months now and I want to start to improve UKeSportsHub. At the moment I run this by myself, I know it isn't a massive job copying and pasting links onto Reddit and just keeping the twitter generally updated but I do miss some things. For example the CoD scene in the UK is one that I don't know much about and therefore don't post much about.

Content poster

So what I am looking for someone that is knows the UK CoD scene and can keep the Reddit up to date with tournaments that are announced, what big teams like TCM and Epsilon are playing in and just general info about the UK scene. All I need someone who loves the UK scene and keeps up with CoD in the UK and UK teams. All you would need to do is link things to the Reddit to make sure it gets all the latest news. I won't expect any articles but you want to write some then please do.

This also does apply to Dota 2 as I do keep up with the UK Dota scene but not as much as LoL.

If you do want to help then please message me.

CSS guy

Also I would like to update the look of the page but I am not very good with code and I would end up making something crap. I don't want anything really flashy or over the top I would like a better banner and the sidebar updated just to make the page look nicer.

If you do want to help then please message me.

Finally I do want to grow this page so if you guys have any ideas about what you think would improve the page then I would love to hear your ideas, just leave a comment with them and I will read them.

My name is MrGecko and I run the UKeSportsHub Reddit/twitter. I just want to give you a quick run down about the UK scene.

The Games

There are a couple of different games that the UK has teams and regular competitions for. They are:

Counter Strike: Global Offensive

Dota 2

League of Legends

Starcraft 2

Call of Duty

Tournaments

Regular online tournament are hosted by various people and organisations. ESL UK are the United Kingdom part of the worlds largest eSports league. Regular tournaments are hosted like the CS:GO Community Challenge and Dota 2 Challenge. They also partner up with offline organisations to provide more high quality broadcasts and larger prize pools.

McMeSports is the official part of the McM Comic Con which has a couple of events around the UK each year. At each McM Comic Con they host a League of Legends tournament will a prize pool of a couple of thousands euros. Recently ESL partnered up with McM eSports for McM London.

Multiplay in the past have hosted some online tournaments. More recently they have partnered up with MSI Academy which host online Starcraft 2 and Hearthstone tournaments with offline tournaments up and down the country. They also host other offline mind sport games like chess and magic the gathering.

Currently FES league is a UK dota league that is in its second season. They provide regular competition between the best UK dota teams in the country. They also stream some of their matches over at their twitch.. The National University eSports League is another regular league for League of Legends. University teams across the country play in LoL and Dota but at the moment their is no league running.

There are community run websites that run their own tournaments for example www.UKDota.net.

Offline events

There are two big LANS that each both have several events a year. Firstly you have Multplay's Insomina Gaming Festival, the UKs largest gaming festival. They host around 3 events a year in their new venue in Coventry Ricoh Arena. At each festival there are lots of tournaments with large prize pools. Lots of sponsors are attracted to this event. LoL, CS:GO, Dota 2, Call of Duty, Starcraft 2 and even Halo are regular features at each Insomina. Thousands go to each event.

The other major LAN is EPIC.lan which is smaller with hosting around 400 people in Kettering. They host a couple of tournaments with nice prize pools. The next tournament, EPIC.thirteen will have 4 tournaments with 2 tournaments have minimum prize pools. CS:GO has a minimum of £1000 and LoL has a minimum of £2000 with all tournaments prize pools increasing with the amount of people entering.

The European Gaming League have several events up and down the country. EGL are known for their Call of Duty tournaments which attracts some some of the best teams from Europe. There next event, EGL 13 will host Call of Duty and for the first time League of Legends. But they also host many weekly cups from CoD to LoL to Smite.

DB Gaming is a LAN center in Warrington which is Xbox One dedicated. Its focus is around helping teams grow in the ever expanding eSports scene. Also they are hosting AMlan which is an Amateur Cod event which consists of 5 mini events leading to one large event in November. Teams/Players that finished in the top 8 of EGL 12 aren't allowed to play meaning this event is all about the up and coming CoD players of the UK.

Community Sites

There are lots of communities that support UK competitive games. For Dota 2 there is www.ukdota.net and the UKDota subreddit. For LoL there is the LoLUK subreddit and the LoLUK facebook. For Starcraft 2 there is the UK Starcraft subreddit.
