Meltdown, London’s first ever eSports Bar

SPECIALEFFECT

EIZO, the multi-award winning monitor specialist, has just signed its support of the MELTDOWN bar in London, the very first eSports bar in the UK and also to the charity, “SpecialEffect” who help make GAMING accessible to those with disabilities.

Internationally, EIZO is a well-known pro-active sponsor of eSports tournaments and one of the world’s leading teams, Fnatic. Here in the UK, EIZO is swiftly aiming for first place among gamers.

Meltdown Paris was the first ever eSports bar, offering a place for gamers to gather and watch international competitions in their favourite games while sharing drinks with like-minded people.  One year later, after expanding to Berlin, this unique concept has just arrived in London.  EIZO  has installed five FORIS  FS2332s in to London's first eSports bar.  Other EIZO’s are used in Stockholm, Paris and Berlin.

“If you’re a serious gamer, you use an EIZO,” said Colin Woodley, Business Manager EIZO Limited

SpecialEffect:  EIZO Limited  also wanted to help boost the work that SpecialEffect is doing with disabled gamers.  "Everything about these monitors fits in with what we're trying to do," said Charity Director Dr Mick Donegan, "Their size and picture quality is perfect. Working with companies like EIZO is fundamental to our success. Without their support, we wouldn't be able to help as many people enjoy the inclusivity and therapeutic benefits of video games."

“We really welcome the opportunity to cement this partnership with the great people at SpecialEffect,” said Colin Woodley, Business Manager EIZO Limited . “It reinforces EIZO’s commitment to the gaming industry. Our technology enables those with difficulties to be able to see the whole screen, as the calibration and enhancements mean that the screen remains visible even at 178 degrees vertically and horizontally with a contrast ratio of 1000:1.”
