At the UK Masters this week Multiplay unveiled its new UK esports studio.

Multiplay, which was founded in 1997, is best known for organising both the popular Masters League (which runs competitions in League of Legends, Hearthstone and CSGO) and the Insomnia festivals in the UK. In a live Twitch broadcast it showed off its new studio and featured casting pair @Sonathecaster and @excoundrel. 

Little else has been revealed about the studio as yet but doubtless we’ll be seeing far more of it in the coming weeks and months. The next Insomnia festival (Insombia59) takes place in Birmingham, December 9-11.

Esports Insider says: This is a commitment to the overall UK esports scene from a company which does much to facilitate its growth. Kudos, Multiplay.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
