Join the Team for epic.THIRTEEN

epic13teamAfter one of our biggest LANs so far, we have even more planned for epic.THIRTEEN so we keep getting better! But to do that, we need some more help!

We're looking for some keen and enthusiastic volunteers to join the existing team in a number of areas to make the events even more awesome. It's very hard and tiring work but we all find it extremely rewarding, otherwise we wouldn't do it! In particular we're looking for people in the following areas:

  • Event Team - Part of our general team responsible for helping the participants and running our casual game programme.
  • Front of House Team - Our new team for epic.THIRTEEN and dedicated to looking after our main helpdesk and shop. Even if you're only able to help on this team during the day and want to keep the evenings to LAN, then let us know.
  • Content Team - As the events grow, more people want to hear about what's going on. Whether you have a knack for written content, video editing or production, let us know.

If you're interested in helping out in any of the above roles, then please contact us straight away with details of your experience and what you can offer to the team. If you've got what it takes, we'll be back in touch with you to arrange a chat with some of the existing team members.

epic.THIRTEEN League of Legends Sponsored by Tesoro

TesoroAfter such a great response by the League of Legends community at our last event, Tesoro have stepped up to sponsor our epic.THIRTEEN tournament, to ensure that the tournament starts off with a minimum guaranteed prize of £1000 rising to £4000 depending on the number of teams taking part as well as Tesoro products for the top placing teams.

Tesoro Technology consists of a team of gaming enthusiasts from the US and while still relatively young in the peripherals market, they'll be expanding their range of gaming keyboards, mice, surfaces and audio, inspired by the community.

Bookings are open for epic.THIRTEEN, with tickets just £60, so grab yourself a ticket now!

Achievement Unlocked: Pendeen

It seems that nearly all of the seats in our casual gaming room (Portland) have gone! So we've decided to open up Pendeen as a further 'loud' casual gaming room for epic.THIRTEEN, or the 'Portland Extension'. We'll be running the music and the lighting through to Pendeen as best as we can to try to keep the same sort of atmosphere as we have in Portland, giving another 36 casual gaming seats for you to play with!

So with 90 tickets already gone for epic.THIRTEEN and 4 weeks of launch discount still to go, it's looking like everything is awesome for our next event!

LOL: The Last Resort vs Team Infused

The game is fully in the hands of Team Infused from the start, with Sigris playing superbly on LeBlanc picking up 3 kills 6 minutes in, with another two kills coming from potent Xin Zhao ganks in the top and bottom lane. On the back of the incredible Team Infused tempo this game, Nutri goes a little too deep between the turrets to give up a kill for Moss.

LOL: FM Raiders vs MyXMG

With one victory each we head into the Final round in this best of 3 for the upper bracket Final between FM Raiders and MyXMG.
Although XMG’s geobob gets his hands on bobwick once again, it initially looks like FM Raiders have found a way to counter it with a rather uncommon toplane Karma as the early laning give the impression that Karma is going to bully bobwick out of lane completely,  until some great communication sends yoloswag420 to the top lane to deal tonnes of damage on gragas while bobwick suppresses karma, giving geobob first blood.
