This weekend, the ESL UK Premiership is heading to London MCM Comic Con to find the United Kingdom’s best esports teams. There, eight League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams will be fighting for £12,000 (€16,500) in prize money in addition to the glory of becoming the Spring Season champions!
