ESL UK and their partners over at Sweetpatch.TV have just announced the FIFA 14 Winter Championship, featuring heaps of hardware courtesy of Madcatz. The competition is to be hosted by us at epic.TWELVE and will run from Friday 14th - Sunday 16th February.

The Sweetpatch.TV crew will be at epic.LAN in full force, fielding a weekend of awesome FIFA 14 action which will be held in it's own dedicated themed room and streamed live to their native Twitch channel. For those who want to attend you have two options, the £30 one day experience which is valid for the tournaments on Saturday or Sunday, or for those that just can't get enough and for just a mere £10 more, the £40 full access ticket, which allows you to attend all the Sweetpatch.TV action throughout the weekend as well as seeing the rest of what epic.LAN has to offer.

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:

•     Tournament Team - As our tournaments grow, then the admin team needs to as well and this includes our casters. We are still currently looking for casters for our LOL tournament, so if you have casting experience and play LOL then get in touch!

With epic.TWELVE fast approaching, it's time for us to look at the big games and fun tournaments to keep you all busy through the event.

As always, we're keen to hear your suggestions, but remember for big games, we're looking at anything really over 16 players (you can sort smaller RTS/Co-Op type games amongst yourselves), and preferably reasonably cheap for people to pick up for the event.

Let us know your thoughts over on the forums!
