It’s just a day now until the Esports Insider Pub Quiz, in support of Movember UK arrives. Team ESI currently sit at well over £1,000 raised for Movember UK, an incredible charity supporting a number of causes across men’s health. 

Last minute tickets available – please email [email protected] for details.

The support we’ve received has been nothing short of incredible and we have some fantastic prizes for both the evening and for an auction we will run afterwards. 

The event will run at Loading Bar, Server which is situated at 174 Goldhawk Road, Shepherd’s Bush, London W12 8HJ. The bar opens at 17:00 with quiz from 19:00 onwards. 

I would like to personally thank Jimmy & the team over at Loading for their incredible generosity in allowing us to hold the event at his venue for the evening – and also the fact that he has agreed to donate 10% of bar spend from the evening to Movember UK. You know what that means, good people? Beverage o’clock. 

As for the structure of the quiz – it is as follows:

  • Whose ‘tache is it anyway?
  • General Knowledge
  • Esports Consultant or e-Sports Consultant?
  • Creative Round
  • Anagram time
  • What on earth happened in 2018?
  • Big tunes; the music round

I have a long, long list of people to thank for their incredible support and prize donations but here’s a more detailed list:

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.
