GT Omega Racing, manufacturers of some really cool racing chairs and cockpits, have joined up with Tesoro to give a huge minimum guaranteed prize of £2,000 for our epic.THIRTEEN League of Legends tournament!

As the biggest tournament at our last event, the League of Legends community really supported epic.LAN so we're extremely pleased to repay that support with this great new prize pot of up to £5000.

If you want to take part in the tournament, simply grab your ticket to epic.THIRTEEN and then enter your team by 8pm Thursday 17th July, but be quick, spaces are going fast for the event after the popularity of our biggest LAN to date back in February. 

Looking for something to test your mind at epic.THIRTEEN in between games?

We're excited to confirm the return of the popular puzzle hunt at our next event, run by the awesome but ever-so-slightly-evil team from CantFitMyN.

For those of you who haven't taken part in this sort of puzzle before, the idea for this event comes from a concept used at Dreamhack (the DH Game), and various other worldwide puzzle-hunt type games. This particular hunt takes you through a series of digital and event-based clues to lead you to the right answer for each question. This game is a test of your initiative, knowledge, lateral thinking, puzzle solving, code-breaking and some creative image/sound processing skill.

Full details about prizes and rules to be confirmed closer to the event! But for now, make sure you've grabbed your ticket so you can take part!

So epic.THIRTEEN is just around the corner.... no really it is! We're all looking forward to the July event and to make sure we have all the tournaments running in an orderly fashion we have a full line up of Admins joining our tournament team this event and they are:

for League of Legends:

• Stuart 'Valgar' Bridges
• Carl 'Roden' Roden

for CS:GO:

• Mike 'Dollon' Sargeant
• Richard 'Fenrir' Hillier

for DotA 2:

• Mac 'Maccy' Chapman

• Jacob 'TheKenwyne' Lawton

for Starcraft 2:

• Ben 'Kane' Knight
• Chris 'Tetcher' Ivermee

After seeing some of the best UK Dota talent compete at our last event, we're pleased to confirm the return of Dota2 to epic.THIRTEEN this July.

This will be the 4th time epic.LAN we've hosted Dota2 after bringing you the first BYOC Dota2 tournament in the UK last year and we hope to see some great support from the growing UK Dota scene to prove that Dota 2 needs a regular home at epic.LAN!

Tournament signups for Dota2 and all of our other tournaments are now available once you've bought your tickets.

Awesome news for epic.THIRTEEN participants as we're extremely rammed to confirm that the world's first Goat Simulator tournament will be taking place at the event.

Furthermore, we're also confirming the renewal of our ESL UK partnership as they promise to bring IEM-standard coverage to this amazing new title set to take the eSports world by storm. We caught up with Peter Mather, ESL UK Community Manager, who had this to say:

After the success of the Dota2 challenge at epic.TWELVE. At first we thought the epic.LAN guys were kidding us, but thinking about it, we can't wait to be back for the next instalment and what better game to work together with the team at epic.LAN on to deliver this world's first tournament. If you thought Katowice was spectacular, wait until you see what we've got in store for this event!
