Warm your hands with alcohol and tech chases for the latest tournament

The venue is a minute walk from the train & bus station (30 mins from Liverpool St) and is fully kitted out with a bar and the space for newcomers and veterans alike.

16 Cap, 5 set-ups. 14+, anyone under 18 MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian and must make that known to the TO beforehand or on arrival. Doors open at 6, with bracket to start at 7; hopefully finishing at around 10:30/11.

Winner gets £20 and a pint. That pint never tasted so good.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to message lello on Discord. And remember,

***The Only Way IS Melee.***

**PLEASE NOTE:**
