Hi guys! Sorry to spam your timelines/notifications with posts today!
We are currently looking into booking a private cinema for the league of legends worlds finals on Saturday 29th going into the early hours of Sunday morning. The company we would be working with would like an idea of the amount of people interested in the event as it does require a little bit of planning. We're posting in order to get an idea from you guys whether this is something you would like, the studio we are looking at using has a 30ft wide LED screen so it's all sounding very exciting so far!
If you could comment or like this post in order to let us know that you're interested that would be amazing, you don't have to be interested in league of legends to come as it will be a great night for hanging out with people, talking about games and just meeting new people that are also into eSports!
