i49 is the next in the Insomnia event series by multiplay. These events are the biggest UK lan parties around at the moment, featuring tournaments for Counter-Strike:Global Offensive, League of Legends, Team Fortress 2 and more. You’ve got very little time if you want to get to this event for lower than full price though as the ‘Early bird’ discount which Multiplay put on all their i-series events ends at 15:00 May 1st.
The event is something that old school lan veterans and new comers alike can enjoy, the 4 day events spans from Thursday evening (depending if you buy early access) to Monday Morning and usually boasts a turn out of at least 1500. The exhibition hall next to the lan in self is also worth looking at on it’s own merits, hardware and game companys will be their showing off their products and will obviously have them for sale. This event has a lot to offer and is definitely worth it, espcially at the early bird price. You can find out more about the event on the Multiplay website including location, dates and prices.
[Update]
Multiplay have just announced that the early bird discount will be extended until the 2nd of May giving you an extra day to scrape those pennies together!
