With epic.FIFTEEN around 6 weeks away, we've had to take a decision to postpone our launch into the Call of Duty scene until a future event. 

Despite lots of interest from players asking us to host Call of Duty and teams promising to attend at the point of announcing, we haven't seen that translate into actual bookings for the event. As we were looking to invest in all of the kit ourselves, so we can run a high quality tournament without relying on third parties, we felt that we could not take that huge personal financial risk without some definite team committments. 

We will continue to monitor the Call of Duty scene and decide whether to reintroduce the tournament to our October event, subject to seeing sufficient definite interest. 

Following on from last year’s successful Dota2 Challenge at EGX, we’re pleased to confirm that epic.LAN will be hosting an even bigger tournament in the build up to this September’s main event. 

Four teams will once again have the opportunity to face off at the UK’s biggest games event in Birmingham by competing in a series of monthly online heats between now and August. The winning teams from each heat will earn EGX Super Passes, giving access to all 4 days of the show to experience that everything EGX has to offer, with the Dota2 grand finals taking place on Sunday 27th September for even more prizes. 

In addition, the winning team from this July’s epic.FIFTEEN LAN event in Kettering, will qualify straight through to the EGX finals to join the winners of the monthly heats. 

To sign up for the first of the monthly heats, head over to egx2015.epiclan.net to create your team.

We've seen a bit of a resurgence of interest in Starcraft 2 here at epic.LAN, as one of the few organisations remaining in the UK to continue its support. So with the epic.FOURTEEN SC2 tournament just hitting its second prize tier it seems like a great time to announce that AOC will be supporting the tournament which will see the winner take away a 27inch G2770PQU 144Hz Monitor (worth £280+) and the runner up a 24inch G2460PQU 144Hz Monitor (worth £200+).

There are just 67 places left now for epic.FOURTEEN, so make sure you grab your ticket before they all go and don't forget to sign up to your chosen eSports tournaments.

One thing that epic.LAN has always been proud of is its caster lineups! To kick start epic.FOURTEEN we are pleased to introduce a fantastic team of casters some of whom you will recognise and some new comers to the scene! 

Tom "Gumpster" Gumbleton epic.LAN eSports Manager explained;

"I feel that we have built a rather good casting line up with naturally talented experienced casters a long with some rather unique up & coming casters in their respective scenes.

With the addition of having the usual two casters for some games we have three casters to help aide our casting team throughout the event with breaks and give the audience a natural blend of variety and stability. Hopefully these guys can entertain the audience as much as they have entertained me over the last few weeks"
