No problem, we’ll be matching up players without complete teams to make sure everyone can get in on the action. We’ll be playing the regular 5v5 mode and map selection will be done via voting! - Signups are on the night from 6:30PM, with games beginning at 7PM, you can still join even if arriving later! - You may bring your own controllers/peripherals if you want - We will be using the Steam PC version of the game for ease of login - Games will run until 10PM or so, and PCs remain available afterwards - No entry fee, but you must make a purchase to take part! Winning teams will get a little soju on the house, and depending on sign up numbers we may do a small bracket to see who’s the best in the room! See you there!

More about Dalston

Greater London, England

Dalston sits right on the edge of London and feels like a proper village with its own pulse. The Queensbridge Sports And Community Centre has been hosting local groups for years, while The Black Eel keeps things lively with music and conversation. Not bad for a Tuesday in East London. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening.
