Most of you will not be familiar with the scenes surrounding the iSeries (recently known as Insomnia), however we intend to bring some coverage from the event and include listing of major games being held at the event.

About the iSeries
As some of you may know, the iSeries is the largest series of LAN events in the United Kingdom, ran by Multiplay UK. This event has a little over 1,300 participants from a number of different countries.
There are several prize competitions over several games, the main focus being on Call of Duty 4, Counter Strike: Source, and Team Fortress 2.
Quote by Multiplay UKThe Insomnia Gaming Festival is a gaming event for all ages, where gamers and industry leaders alike come together to celebrate games in all their forms.

Held 3 times a year at Newbury Racecourse in Berkshire, insomnia is a fusion of gaming, exhibitions, tournaments & social gatherings resulting in a festival that really does have something for everyone!


First impressions
We arrived at Newburys famous racecourse this afternoon. Multiplay have been lucky with the timing of their event, as anyone in the United Kingdom will know! The weather has been perfect and is set to be during the event. Of course this is great for relaxing and such, but again as people who have attended past events will know - it gets rather hot, which is far from fun for gaming.

The first matches for the group stages should begin around 19:30 BST (CEST-1), we hope to provide as much coverage as possible, and we hope you enjoy it! If you have any requests, feel free to drop me a message. We intend to provide match coverage for the games you want to see - so let us know!
