HMV, the UK & Ireland’s leading music, film and games specialist, today announced a major new gaming expo and eSports event which starts this summer in one of London’s best exhibition halls.
Headlined by HMV and organised by UKeSA, the governing body for competitive gaming in the UK, the event, billed ‘Game On! London’, will be staged at London’s famous Olympia Exhibition Centre between 20th – 21st June, 2009, and is expected to draw more than 25,000 games enthusiasts from all over the country.
Game On! London will showcase the very latest games for all the major platforms and the most cutting-edge gaming technology. The expo-event will also play host to the Dell XPS Premiership Season One finals, which will see the UK’s top eSports teams clash in what has become the UK's most hotly contested gaming league ever.
Please note that that the following UKeSA matches will now take place at the Season One Grand Finals at GameOn! London:
- Dell XPS Premiership Finals – semi finals and grand finals
- UKeSA Championship Finals – grand finals only
- UKeSA Cup Finals – grand finals only
“Game On! London represents a superb opportunity to create a memorable landmark event that will enable us to get even closer to the game-playing customers that we value so much,” said Tim Ellis, HMV Head of Games. “Working in close partnership with UKeSA, our key aim is to bring all facets and genres of gaming together under one roof to create a very special and unforgettable two-day festival of gaming.”
An announcement regarding ticket availability and prices will be made shortly.
“This event will reflect all that’s best in UK gaming – from the grass-roots enthusiast right through to the Premiership gaming elite, making HMV the ideal partner for us,” said Ray Mia, Chief Executive of UkeSA. “We’re looking forward to a spectacular and really exciting Season One Final at Olympia in June.”
Teams required for the finals will be contacted by UKeSA shortly.

Looks like the UKeSA have got themselves a nice partnership there. Im assuming this means mentions of UKeSA in HMV stores nationwide?
If it does then keep on spreading the love UKeSA, good job!

Depends really since HMV will need to expand their GamerBase gaming centres across stores nationwide. They only have two locations; one in Manchester and Central London. If implemented well, they might end up being training centres for teams...
