News :: epic.LAN
Following on from the recent announcement from the Prime Minister and further clarity from the UK Government on Monday meaning that hospitality venues cannot open until July 4 at the earliest, we’ve taken the difficult and perhaps expected decision to cancel the next physical event and change epic30 into an online format.
BUT, we feel that at these times, it’s important to make sure something still happens over the epic30 weekend (2-5 July) to bring people together through gaming rather than simply cancelling it, so we’re going to be pulling out all the stops to put on as much of an epic.LAN experience as we can with loads of the things you’d normally expect at our events.
It's the first day of our tournaments and our Dota 2 stream schedule is as follows:
You can catch all our Dota 2 action on our Twitch Stream throughout the day with our casters Steven "rusts" Holmson and Joe "QuesTextDota" Sealey you can Tweet them @Rustsandstuffs and @QuesTextDota
Our LOL Streaming schedule is as follows and will be available to watch on our Twitch Stream.
Our games will be cast by Joe "Munchables" Fenny - @MunchablesLoL and Jackson "Osigalas" Walters - @Osigalas
Counter Strike: Global OffensiveBen brings a wealth of experience to our casting lineup here at epic.FIFTEEN as he has previously casted for us at epic.FOURTEEN and has continued his work with activities in the ESL UK Premiership, as well as being on the analysis desk for the UK Premiership Finals back at MCM in May. Meanwhile Mark has been a long time member of the casting community as he famously did work at some iSeries CS: Source events and has also been with us too. Jack will be joining the lineup after he has finished competing in the group stages with his team 27in1 and is one of our fresh faces to the casting lineup as he has done work with FACEIT and online for 27in1 in Counter Strike before.
Steven is probably one of the most complete casters we have ever had grace our events, his knowledge of DotA2 is practically unrivaled and his casting is incredibly in line with top level casters. He had casted for us at epic.FOURTEEN and we welcome him back to our lineup here for our Summer LAN. Joe is one of the few newcomers to our LAN events and is relatively new on the casting stage, so once again after a successful stint at epic.FOURTEEN we welcome him back too. Over the course of the weekend there will be multiple players joining the stream to also help cast some of our quality DotA2 games.
epic.LAN is very proud to announce our latest addition to our streaming lineup for our next event epic.FIFTEEN.
With various feedback over the last few events we've made the decision to introduce a new concept and stream to our already existing lists of streams that run during the event.
The stream will be known as the 'Central Stream' and will act as a central hub for as many activities that we can cram in during the event and we're not just talking eSports here!
With plans to make the stream relevant to our dedicated eSports fans but also appeal to our fantastic social community. Read on to see what we have in store for the central stream at epic.FIFTEEN
After many requests over the past few years, we've decided that the gap between July and February is far too long, so in 2015 we'll be hosting three main epic.LAN events. Make sure you add these to your diary and get those all-important holiday requests in nice and early:
It was a long day of finals here at epic.TWELVE, though I think it would be fair to say that everyone had a good time including the admins and casters. So on to the winners:
League of Legends Sponsored by Astro.Winners: FM RaiderZ
Runners Up: Team Infused
CS:GOWinners: Team CRG
Runners Up: The Lovely Men
Winners: Dwayne 'The John' Rockson
Runners Up: So LeJit
Starcraft IIWinners: Ourk (FM)
Runners Up: Rotcod (TLR)
We're really excited about epic.LAN in 2014, after our great first year of LAN Parties at the Kettering Conference Centre, we can't wait until February to get back and put on some great gaming events for you.
But it takes quite a bit of man (and woman) power to put on the events across our various teams and with some of our plans for 2014, then we need to keep growing the event team to keep making the events even more...epic (sorry).
Everybody on the team, right up to the management, is a volunteer, we all do it because we enjoy it and get a buzz at the end of the whole thing when we see hundreds of you enjoying the LAN. It is very hard work with long hours, but it's extremely rewarding, otherwise we simply wouldn't do it!
So we're looking for some willing helpers in the following areas:
With epic.TWELVE already announced for 14-17th February 2014, we can now confirm the full calendar for 2014:
We'll keep an eye on the numbers for epic.TWELVE and may consider a 3rd main epic.LAN event around October if the numbers head in the right direction. If we do so, the September epic.lite date will be converted to a social trip of some sorts.
Winbar parted with a large amount of money recently to confirm that next years bookings are now in the diary. We are pleased to announce that epic.Twelve in February is now open for bookings and takes place Friday 14th - Monday 17th February 2014 here at Kettering Conference Centre.
Confirmed for the Tournament side are Starcraft 2, League of Legends and CS:GO. We'll also have the usual mix of Big Games, Fun Tournaments, DJ Slots and Pub quiz with lots of fun and shenanigans all thrown in for good measure.
Early bird discount ends September 30th @ 8pm so get your bookings in nice and early to save yourself a tenner. Lets make epic.TWELVE the biggest epic.LAN yet!
