Myers joins iGames UK

Posted by deebo at 18:23 14/4/2003.

UKT's very own Richard 'Myers' Millington has recently joined the newly rebranded iGames UK, taking the role of Community Manager. Some of his tasks in his new job are the organization of all online tournaments, website maintainence, along with acting as a valuable link between iGames UK and the gaming community. Myers was offered the job after working very successfully with the VGA/iGames UK at WCG-UK Qualifiers, CPL Qualifiers, and UKTerrorist events. He had this to say on his appointment:

I've had a lot of respect for Dominic Mulroy and Sujoy Roy for a long time and i'm very impressed by what they managed to accomplish so far through iGames UK. Hopefully now I'm on board I can ensure that all the gaming events are run smoothly and are enjoyable for all those taking part. Look out for the UK World Cyber Games Qualifiers in the summer, it promises to be the biggest UK gaming event to date.

Hopefully his good work for UKT won't suffer due to this, and everyone here wishes him the best of luck.

Myers not that you want to descuss your salery and obviously its going to be a starting one, it cant keep you mega rich. Your what 17? You will be on something between £3,000 - £15,000 im guessing, decent for someone our age VERY DECENT so gl to ya but in 10/15 years time when esports may have flopped you might have to look for something else to do so i wouldnt go taking this up full time hardcore. Finish yer education kids :D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Thats quite a big difference, i presume its a fulltime affair so atlest £8k upwards would be worthwhile. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

a lot of work goes into these events. It doesnt sound like a full time afair at the moment no. My comment wasnt a p*** take just saying that he should focus on another area incast this flops or it doesnt last as long as he would like it.

Also with the £££ i am on £3,500 basic at the moment for the part time job i am at and i get another £2,000 a year bonus (roughly) now for me (17 years of age, living at home doing A-levels) its a daddy job cos of the £££ i ahve for myself but when i am at uni (this september) and i move out and when i get into full time employment this money wont all be myn and it simply won't be enough.

As times change peopls situation need to change, as i said though for the time being its a good situation to be in. Good luck Myers :P [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

everytime mike made a comment on ukt the comments section turned into a "annum hacks" thread, so yes he still got for a long time after. Gladly i saw mike rape dNC 1v1s on paladin day it was released so could a few others, then it died down, and then he proved his skillz on lan too.
