Saturday night is always a great laugh at epic.LAN with the epic.Quiz that takes place in our Hall 1 bar. As always, we release the results and rankings so that you can see how little you really know about current affairs or the extent of your gaming theme tunes expertise!
A big congratulations to "Rupert Murdoch says he is touched by all the messages left on Amy Winhouse's answerphone" who have re-taken the crown.
We had 9 teams participate with a total of 51 participants resulting in a prize pot of £51 split:
One of the biggest competitions at epic.LAN is always our pub quiz on the Saturday evening of the event. Usually attracting the majority of participants, we enjoy a few hours of general nostalgia with a few/many beers after a some tough days of gaming.
Bearing in mind the increased numbers at epic.FIVE, and with our TF2 tournament involving teams of 6, we've decided to allow a slight increase to our pub quiz team sizes, which will now have a 6 player limit. We're not planning on removing the cap entirely as we are still a relatively small LAN, and we dont want one or two giant teams to entirely dominate purely by numbers, so the cap gives everybody a fair chance.
Also, we can give some vague clues now to the rounds for this one, very few changes after the generally positive feedback from our last quiz, but a non-exhaustive list includes:
Once again, an excellent fun pub quiz at epic.FOUR to give a break from the gaming! Massive congratulations to team Geo, why did you leave us? for their win after a slightly messy tentacle-based tiebreaker!
Thank you to for everyone who took part in the quiz, certainly for us, it is one of the social highlights of the event and it is great to see such a high proportion of the event taking part.

The quiz takes place at 8pm in the main hall and is open to teams of up to 5 players. Each participant pays just £1 to take part and all of the money goes to the winning teams.
We can now confirm the following rounds for the epic.FOUR quiz:
