CSS Tournament Update


So far so good with all the higher seeded teams from yesterday making it through to the next round of the elimination stage. Team CRG are currently tucking into a well deserved full English breakfast out in the sunshine which I am sure will give them the energy they need for their next match against Rasta.Xd. The other upper bracket match will see LiNK face off against TLR. These will definitely be very close matches and well worth a watch on Source TV.


The rest of the teams have now dropped to the lower bracket where they will need to fight their way back through the opposition to make it to the grand final at 11am tomorrow.

Rasta vs CRG - 13:30 - server1.epiclan.co.uk:27115
LiNK vs TLR – 14:00 - server1.epiclan.co.uk:27116

Day two of epic.LAN saw more teams arriving for their tournaments loads of big games and our community work shops. DJ haden did his live set and during the evening the epic.TEAM, GamerFM staff and some of the community members dressed up for halloween (yes early we know) as part of our fright night activities where we played games like Zombie Panic and The Hidden. Images from day two can be found in our galleries and on our facebook page.

So epic.SEVEN is now in full swing here at Uttoxeter Racecourse. Build went really well with no major issues and we we're finished well in time for the open at 4pm! Bang on four we had a queue of eager LAN goers ready to get the weekend underway! As the evening went on we had our usual big games and Opening Ceremony to get everyone welcomed into the LAN, during which Joe Styrka (more commonly known as JoeShow) From Gamer FM had his legs (and parts of his torso) waxed for charity. Kamikaze and Squirrel applied the wax strips while members of the community took it in turns to tear off a strip causing Joe some considerable discomfort! It's all for charity though and he was laughing at the end!

You can still donate to Joe's Just Giving page here!

After the Opening Ceremony the big games continued into the night and the LAN got into full swing we even had a fire display by UKTamo out on the terrace which was impressive and something we've not seen at epic.LAN before!

All images from build and day one can be seen on our facebook page or our galleries.

Please help us to speed up the check-in process and keep the queues down by doing the following:

• Ensure any voucher codes have been allocated to the correct participant
• Select your seat 
• Print your barcode booking pass 
• If you are in the CSS or COD4 tournaments, ensure that your team has signed up in full to the tournament system by 8pm Thursday.

If you are planning on spectating the event or you have visitors coming to see you, please create a spectator booking on the system in advance, it's still fine to pay on the door, but will save time on the day.

Remember, the doors open at 4pm, if you arrive any earlier we'll have to ask you to wait outside or in the Railway Bar sleeping area.

And on another note, please make sure you update your games before you attend to help us save bandwidth at the event.

See you in a few days!

The epic.SEVEN seating plan will be locked down this evening (14th October). This is to allow us to finalise seating arrangements for the event as well as confirming numbers for table/seating hire with our suppliers. From this point we may also 'defragment' the seating arrangements to minimise the number of empty rows, please ensure that you share a clan tag with people who you wish to remain sat by to ensure that you are not split up during any required moves.

Those who have not yet selected a seat will still be able to do so, but people who are already in a seat will not be able to move after the lockdown.

If you have any urgent last minute seating changes after the lockdown then please contact us.
