It may be a surprise to many of you, but there's a thriving Super Smash Bros community over here in the UK. The fighting game, featuring many of your favourite Nintendo characters is also played at quite a competitive level in eSports tournaments around the world. 

We've decided to introduce Smash (Wii U) into our epic.SIXTEEN fun tournament series, like Rocket League, to assess the demand for a slightly more competitive tournament in the future if it is popular at the events. We'll also be running the tournament after the group stages for our eSports tournaments have concluded to give people more things to do outside of their matches.

So today at epic.THIRTEEN we saw a Goat Sim tournament... see we really weren't 'kidding' around....

The competitors went up against each other in groups of 4 and to go through they had to score as many points as possible in 5 minutes. The competitor with the most points went through to quarter finals and so on to the final which changed slightly in that instead of playing on the standard map they played a game of Goat Hockey where they had to score as many goals as possible in 5 minutes.

The spectators seemed to really enjoy it and we think it was a mad but fantastic idea.

Congratulations to Matty2050 who took the title of Goat Sim Tournament winner. You have some fab goodies from ASTRO Gaming!

Today saw our Mario Kart Wii Fun Tournament take place! It was the usual barrel of laughs and shenanigans, Kamikaze was there to defend her title as champion of Mario Karts so the comptetion was tough! They battled out through various circuits to narrow down to the top three drivers.

Kamikaze proved why she was champion before by getting herself firmly into the top 3 placings along with Drac and Molly.

Our Winner though, defending her position as Champion of Wii Mario Karts was Kamikaze, so well done to you and we'll see you at the prize giving on Sunday!

So in the social hall we had three Fun Tournaments and they were packed with players all battling it out to win prizes from our sponsors.

The F1 2011 Tournament was won by Booti who won an Avermedia Live Gamer HD and hot on his heels was Hodgster who took home a Tt eSports Mouse.

The UT2K4 Tournament was won by someone other than Vardy this time round! So in first place we had GotenXao who won a Tt eSports PC case and in second place was Dae who won an intel external HD.

The Beach Volleyball proved to be a popular stand in for the boxing and if you've seen the images on our galleries i think you'll agree it looked like fun! The winner was Antrobus who took home an Avermedia Live Gamer HD and smashing his way to a close second was Adunas who took home a Steel Series mouse.
