Fighters at Insomnia 46 is coming. It’s only three days away. It’s going to be the biggest UK FGC event of the summer. And you’d better believe that it’s going to be awesome. Three days of Tournamentaments, thirteen games to compete in, five new games on show, a large pile of prizes to be won and most of the UK FGC descending on an unsuspecting Telford. It’s simply not an event to pass without note, so, without further aplomb, here’s a preview of what is to come. Click through for an info-dump so large, we keep tripping over it on the way to the kitchen.-
First of all, here’s the promotional video. It’s very much serious business.
Sign-ups for Fighters at i46 are closed – however, you can still sign up on the day. Arrive at least two hours in advance to do so and prevent disappointment.

The Insomnia festival is open from Thursday evening all the way through until Monday afternoon. It does not close for the night. You can run that dream first-to-150 if you want to. However, after midnight each night you might have to provide your own setups. You also can’t sleep inside the venue, both due to the fact that it’s a big fire safety risk and the fact that your snoring would probably disturb the other gamers.

The Insomnia website has a whole page on how to get to the venue: http://iseries.multiplay.co.uk/i46/travel-information
More more information, the main Insomnia 46 website has pretty much everything you need to know about the festival itself: http://iseries.multiplay.co.uk/
For Fighters at i46 information, the Unequalled Media website has you covered: http://unequalledmedia.com/index.html
I think we can all agree that that is a big info dump. If you’re off to i46, good luck and have fun! The rest of us will watch with a not-insignificant amount of envy. HitCombo.net will do its very best to keep updated on the tournament as results and news unfurls.
