  • Up to £3000 - 5v5 Dota 2
  • Up to £1000 - 1v1 Starcraft 2

All prize funds listed as basic pools and will be increased if sponsorship is obtained. As always, winning teams receive free tickets for the following event with runners up taking discounted tickets, with all cash prizes paid out on the day of the event.

Why no League of Legends?

We've taken the difficult decision to drop League of Legends from epic.SIXTEEN. Sadly we've seen a significant decline in UK League of Legends for LANs at this level, combined with reduced support from Riot and a planned smaller event for epic.SIXTEEN it isn't viable to continue with the game for now. We will continue to monitor the scene for any changes in to 2016. 

LoL teams with winning tickets for epic.SIXTEEN from the last event are free to use those tickets for other games within their organisations. 

We will be monitoring the UK eSports scene and looking in to possibilities of other PC or console titles, please get in touch if you have any suggestions.
