Earlier in the week, Multiplay announced a potential habitat change for the UK's largest LAN. It has now been confirmed that the iSeries will be heading to the Telford International Centre, brining some all new perks for the iSeries.

With the migration comes a rise in the number of BYOC places available for the event, with the max number currently sitting at 3000 over two gaming halls, with even more potential to expand. The number of seats are not the only thing's increasing, as Multiplay have also released the confirmed minimum prize pots for the tournaments, with CSS receiving at least £7,500.

Also, for those worried about pre-existing hotel bookings for the Newbury event, Multiplay have assured customers they will aim to help with cancellations, replacements or compensation. They have also extended the 20% discount for a further two weeks.

The iSeries website reads:

The New Venue

We have been looking at venues to take the i-Series forward and whilst Newbury is great and we love it to bits, we are struggling to grow the i-Series there. To this end we have been working hard to find a venue that will allow us to continue to grow the i-Series, whilst providing you with all the services you need to make it a great event.

Earlier this year the management team here at Multiplay visited the Telford International Centre, a family-owned venue just above Birmingham on the M54; quite central in the UK. They are very keen to have the i-Series events at their venue, and we were all very impressed with what they had to offer.

Essentially if we were building a venue for LANs from scratch, it wouldn’t be far off this! It has a very similar feel to Stoneleigh park in terms of large halls, but with all the amenity, catering and transport problems fixed.
