We are extremely pleased to confirm that our friends at Intel will be returning to providing our Turn Up & Play (TUP) area for epic.TEN allowing a limited number teams from all over the world to take part in the event.

So if you want to attend, but can't get your PC to the event, then now you have no excuses.

Oh, and make sure you give IntelUK a like on Facebook as a thanks for their support.

The TUP area will be located in the Competitive Hall (Fair Isle), and as this is a Turn Up & Play arrangement rather than rental, all PCs must stay in that allocated area and the PCs may be required for a number of teams depending on scheduling arrangements.

TUP tickets cost £85 per person, so that's the £60 for your event ticket and a mere £25 for the use of the top spec PC for the weekend. Teams must make a full-team booking in order to secure the machines together.

While we don't plan to allocate more than one player/team to the TUP machines, please be aware that we do reserve the right to use the machines for other activities when matches aren't taking place, e.g. sponsor activities.

TUP bookings will open from Monday 17th December at 8pm for full teams initially, to allow complete teams the chance to attend. We will then look at numbers and open up individual participant bookings if we have any left, there are currently only 15 machines available and last time these went within a few hours. Even if individual bookings are enabled, the PCs must still stay within that TUP area regardless of where the rest of the team is sitting.
