In 2021, EPIC.LAN continued to put on a range of events for online, offline and somewhere in between as the safe and careful journey back to the LAN hall continued. October 2021 saw EPIC34 return to its offline roots in an event that was as close to normal as possible in the current times and Overclockers UK was right there at the heart of it supporting the event and community.

Following on from the successful partnership that has been running since 2020, EPIC.LAN is pleased to announce that Overclockers UK will be back again for 2022 as a headline partner along with luxury gaming chair brand, noblechairs, as official chair partner for the events.

The focus of the partnership will remain on keeping people gaming as a community during a time when people have needed those social interactions more than ever. As events start to return to normal, the Overclockers team will have a regular presence at the events, featuring in stage content as well as display, demonstrations and advice while on site to help people get the most out of their gaming setups.

Jon Winkle, EPIC.LAN Managing Director said “Thanks to support from our community and Overclockers UK, we were able to bring LAN gaming events back safely at the end of 2021. Our renewed partnership for 2022 means we can continue working closely together to support UK gaming in whatever form events take this year.”

Andy Welsh, Overclockers UK’s Marketing Partnerships & Relationships Manager added, "We are looking forward to working with Jon and the EPIC.LAN team once again this year, aiming to build on what we can deliver to the community throughout 2022. It's great to be welcomed back for another year by everyone, and we're looking forward to getting stuck in! But please, no more spicy jelly beans."

The next EPIC.LAN event takes place at Kettering Conference Centre from 24-27 February (COVID safety measures apply) and features VALORANT, CS:GO and Starcraft 2 as its core esports line-up.
