This week, we’re a little behind schedule, but we’re still going to bring you the local news because that’s what we do. We would like to take a moment to honour a local eSports fallen hero. Liam ‘Pontofalax’ Lehle (a Dota 2 player for Damage Control) passed away earlier this week due to liver failure. Our thoughts go out to his family and…
This past weekend, a number of titles hosted their pre-expo qualifier tournaments which secured a few players spots at the finals in their various games.

I’m going to be pretty frank – I’m bemused by the number of people who don’t know what a BYOC LAN, but I can only guess that they all grew up after the mighty Organised Chaos existed.

This year at EGE 2016 we’re really going to try and tap into the potential eSports and competitive stars of tomorrow by making Friday of the expo all about them.
