Bigfoot Networks is the first organisation to team up with epic.LAN ready for the epic.SIX event this July.

The team will be sending us a couple of their Killer 2100 Gaming Network Cards and some other freebies for some lucky winners at epic.SIX. We'll have a think about exactly what you'll have to do in order to win over the next few weeks.

Many thanks to the Bigfoot Networks team for their support at our next LAN event!

We've been able to get our hands on a load of Duke Nukem Forever - First Access Club keys, which will give early access to the Duke Nukem Forever demo as soon as it goes live, as well as other goodies such as wallpapers and DLC when the game is released.

And all you have to do to get hold of an access key is to have a confirmed epic.lite 4 booking or epic.SIX booking by Sunday 22nd May. It's as easy as that!

So make the most of the May payday and grab your seat for epic.SIX now!

In case you missed the announcement at epic.FIVE, we now have a new referral scheme which rewards you with money off your event tickets every time you bring a new person to an epic.LAN event!

For every new person you introduce to the events we'll give you £5 off your next event.

We make good team!

Following on from our evaluation of epic.FIVE, we have made some slight changes to the team here. We've moved a few people around, including KamiKaze's promotion to Assistant Tournament Manager to help develop our new tournament series along with Nivek as Tournament Manager.

We are also looking for one more person to join our event team as the events grow. If this is something you are intersted in being a part of, then please contact us with details of your experience, why you are interested in joining the team and what you could bring to the epic.LAN alternatively you can email us in the normal way.

Deadline for applications is Friday 29th April, we look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you to everybody who completed the epic.FIVE survey. We have now compiled the results and made them available to download.

We now use this information to help us work on our improvements for epic.SIX along with your comments within the survey and on the forums.

Following on from the success of epic.FIVE, we are pleased to announce the first batch of details for the epic.SIX LAN Party being held from 28th - 31st July 2011, once again at Uttoxeter Racecourse in the UK midlands region.

We have a return of many old favourites, including prize winning tournaments for Counter-Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2, as well as our usual big games and fun tournaments.

Bookings are now open for our sixth epic.LAN event.

First off apologies for not getting the feedback survey up before the end of the epic.FIVE, the entire staff team were too busy (and last night I feel asleep whilst the laptop booted)!

As many of you know, we put up a feedback survey which allows us to collate feedback and analyse in an objective fashion. This is especially useful when we want to quantify comments to the various third parties used during the event.

You can access the survey here, but remember it will only be available to those who attended epic.FIVE.

Please feel free to continue to add comments to the feedback thread on the forums, but if we are to use the comments in our de-briefings they need to be captured on the survey.

And so it's come to this. After some great matches and a few surprises in the elimination stages of both tournaments, we now reach the finals.

The £1,000 Team Fortress 2 final featuring Infused.Tt eSports and Monster Munch is taking place now. You can follow the live stream over at TF2TV.

The £1,000 Counter-Strike: Source final is scheduled for 12:30 GMT and features the two top seeded teams, Bindips Band of Merry Men and Rasta.Xd battling it out for the prize pot and the glory of winning.

You can follow the match on Source TV, details will be published on the match page when it's available, there will also be live coverage from our coverage partners:

• gamer.fm
• Cadred

Stay tuned for more tournament details from epic.LAN, including the winner of our UT2004 Knockout Tournament.

Re-live the fun at epic.FIVE with our galleries. All the action from days one to three including the tournaments, the quiz, the boat race and of course the general LAN atmosphere!

Thankyou to everyone that took part in the epic.QUIZ last night in Hall 1. There was a total of 82 players across 16 teams allowing a prize pot split of:

• First Place: £61.50
• Runner Up: £20.50

Congratulations to 'Underpants' who successfully fought off 'Zorg, why did you leave us?' to end their reign and take the trophy home (okay, the trophy was a plastic pint cup containing the winnings...)! Runners up were 'With No Name' by only 1 point! Now that's a close game!

All players should now be awarded with an achievement for taking part in the quiz, if you've been missed, please find Saboo at the event (Hall 1) and he'll correct his mistake (it is 5am though).
