18th March 2009 (Huntingdon, UK) – Heaven Media are pleased to present a professional eSports tournament to be held at Gadget Show Live, taking place at Birmingham NEC 17th-19th April.

“This tournament gives casual gamers a chance to meet some of the top eSports personalities in person, these are teams that compete in large money tournaments all over the world,” confirmed Heaven Media’s Corin Cole. “We will also be providing extensive coverage both within the zone and via our portfolio of sites”.

The focal hub for coverage will be leading eSports coverage site Cadred.org who will be in attendance to provide live scores, features, media, and access to watch games, both live and on-demand.
