After lots of begging from the community, we're really excited to add League of Legends to the epic.ELEVEN tournament series!
With the internet connection well on the way to being sorted for epic.ELEVEN, we can add the popular MOBA title to our lineup giving us a great range of tournaments for the event alongside CS:GO, COD4 and Dota 2 as well as all of the usual casual gaming activities throughout the weekend of 25-28th July.
The team signups for our main epic.ELEVEN tournaments are now open.
Once you've booked your event tickets, head over to our tournament site, log in with your normal details and then either create a new team, or join an existing team using the password from your team leader.
All teams need to be signed up and confirmed by 8pm on Thursday 25th July, but the sooner people get teams sorted, the sooner schedules can be released!
Thank you to everyone who sent in their feedback for epic.TEN. We've now had chance to go through and analyse it all so that we can look at the improvements that we can make for epic.ELEVEN and also to share with the venue so that they can work with us to bring you an even better event next time.
After the great response to epic.TEN in February, we've decided to stick with the same tournament lineup for our next event, epic.ELEVEN in July, with cash-prize winning tournaments in:
With over 100 people booked already, our summer LAN is shaping up to be pretty awesome! Make sure you grab your tickets now!
After a decent rest, we're excited to announce that the epic.HUNT will return for epic.ELEVEN as part of our increasing programme of casual gaming activities.
We've also handed over the reins to some new evil geniuses to run the hunt, puzzle hunt regulars and epic.LAN participants, CantFitMyN. We've already been taking a look at some of their question ideas and we know you're going to be impressed.
For those who haven't taken part in one of these before, it's a cryptic game that takes place throughout the physical event and online world where a series of questions and tasks leads you through to the end of the challenge. It is meant to be a mentally tough challenge that will require a wide range of skills, it isn't meant to be a quiz! It will be created to run over 2 days of the event, but we'll be working with the CantFitMyN team to get a good balance between challenging, while giving you plenty of time to take part in everything else going on at the event too.
More details will follow closer to the time, but for now, if you want to take part, make sure you have your epic.ELEVEN tickets and save £10 if you book before 31st March.
Following on from our expansion into our new venue and having run our first event at Kettering Conference Centre now, we've realised that to keep bringing you some awesome LAN weekends, we're going to need a bigger team!
Staffing a LAN is very hard work, there's no avoiding the fact that it's a tiring weekend, but seeing all of the hard work pay off, and everybody enjoying themselves is extremely rewarding. Everyone at epic.LAN is a volunteer, right up to the management team, so we're all staffing the events because we enjoy it.
Thanks again to everyone that took part in the pub quiz at epic.TEN! It's always a highlight for us, both creating it and watching the puzzled looks on some of your faces! As per usual, we're sharing the points breakdown for each team and each round.
We've had to drop the round names from the header row as it just won't fit on the page. Below the table, there's a reference as to what each round title was.

Rounds:
So another event has passed us by but its been none stop with fun tournaments for our social gamers. epic.TEN saw fun tournaments in Just Dance on the consoles, F1 2011, UT2K4 and minecraft create. Plenty of people got involved with these to provide some great entertainment over the weekend.
We also had the pub quiz which had a record number of participants this event. We saw some regular teams returning to defend their quiz titles and go all out for winning and some new teams who fancied their chances. In the top few teams it was quite a closely contended quiz with just three teams in the end who were seperated by only one or two points. The winners this event were Streamgasm closely follwed by Can'tfitmyn and Rebel Scum. Full Pub Quiz scores and results will be posted shortly after the event.
So the event is drawing to a close (sad face) we hope you've all had a great time here at epic.TEN at our new venue, Kettering Conference Centre. We know we had some teething problems and we worked really hard to try and fix things as and when they cropped up so the LAN ran as smoothly as it could for you guys. However we'd really apreciate your feedback on all areas at epic.TEN including catering, the bar and the epic.TEAM so please take 5 mins and fill out our epic.TEN Survey.
For those of you that loved this event and are already planning on coming to our summer event the dates are set for 25th - 28th July. It will be back to our usual format of Thursday to Sunday and of course there is our early bird discount for those of you that are quick and book up early. So get your tickets now and you will save a whole £10 off your next event ticket.
Hope to see you all there!
Though the two teams present in the Global Offensive grand final were in fact the top two seeds of the tournament, this didn't always look as if it was going to be the case. The second seed, mix team fish123, made their way through the upper bracket dropping only a single map, to the third seed TeamCRG, the team that put Infused in the lower bracket final. Infused had a tough run to make it all the way, finishing second in their group meant that they faced fourth seed TLR in the first round of elimination, a match that took all three maps to determine a winner. After dropping to CRG, they defeated the Lynx once again, this time 2-0, and found themselves yet again against TeamCRG. This time they had their revenge and took the win 2-1 seeing the progress to face fish123.
