Rahul Sood, Unikrn CEO had this to say about their partnership for the event:

“We are all gamers at heart and we love to watch eSports! Having found a partner in the UK, who displays the same passion as we do and has such a rich legacy in gaming, supporting the event was a natural thing for us to do. We are proud to become the sponsor of epic.EIGHTEEN and we are looking forward to watch exciting matches!”

Jon Winkle, epic.LAN Managing Director added:

"The support we have seen over the past few events from the UK gaming community has been phenomenal. Three out of our last five events have sold out and the demand is still growing. The amazing support we see from organisations such as Unikrn means that we can reward those players more and more and increase the standard of competition for everyone watching at home"
