With a history of over 25 years worth of mana, creatures, planeswalkers and countless matches it took its time... but Magic: The Gathering is at epic.LAN, with our first Magic: The Gathering Arena esports tournament taking place in February 2020!
Our official retail and hardware partners, Scan & ASUS ROG had such a great time earlier this year in February, they’re back once again for epic28 next week in Kettering, with even more activities and awesome kit for you all to try.
AND ASUS ROG will also be sponsoring the main stage for the event which will be bringing you entertainment throughout the event for those who want to take a break from their PCs. Look out for the schedule coming soon!
Logitech G and ASTRO Gaming are back to support epic28 and this time they’re fully getting behind our huge casual LAN community!
If you’re taking part in our fun tournaments, you could have the chance to win:
Less than one year after we expanded our events in to the Kettering Conference Centre Arena, we've sold out of BYOC tickets for epic28!
We still have spectator tickets left and a number of Turn Up and Play (TUP) tickets for the Battalion 1944 tournament only.
A sellout for us, really does mean a sellout, we will not be able to increase the number of spaces available this close to the event as all of our logistics are in place.
That means the only way of getting a BYOC ticket at this point is through the waiting list.
Grab your diaries, put the holiday requests in, it's the epic.LAN 2020 dates!
That cat's finally out of the bag, Battalion 1944 will be coming to epic28 with a huge £15k tournament thanks to a partnership between Bulkhead, The Plays and Chillblast.
Participants around the world will be able to take part in the massive tournament either on a BYOC or Turn Up & Play basis with 40 Chillbast PCs available for Battalion 1944 players only.
If you're taking part in the tournament, make sure you select the specific Battalion 1944 BYOC or TUP ticket types when you book for epic28.
It’s time to bid farewell to the epic.FORUMS, as we will be putting them into read only mode on Friday 14th July. They’ve served epic.LAN well for many years, being a place where we could communicate, share content and keep up to date on everything epic related, and have a chat about our favourite TV shows, and play a few games as well.
We’re all using other methods to communicate now, so we’re going to put the interaction part that was on the forums into Discord. This will go into our current layout, although we’ll occasionally create specific (and sometimes temporary) channels when we’re looking for feedback on certain things, such as event-specific defrag plans, through to time-limited events info.
As we celebrate five years of support from ASTRO Gaming here at epic.LAN, we’re excited to announce that both ASTRO and Logitech G will be back to support epic27 in force this June for both casual and esports participants.
Firstly, the Rocket League tournament prize pool has been boosted thanks to LogitechG with participants now able to win up to £2500 plus Logitech G prizes for 1st & 2nd Place.
Then the casual gamers will have the chance to win amazing ASTRO and Logitech G gear in a range of fun tournaments.
After the success of the inaugural epic.LAN CSGO Championships in conjunction with Grosvenor Casinos, organisers have confirmed that the tournament will return for Season 2 this spring.
Adopting a similar format to Season 1, the tournament will tour Grosvenor venues around the UK with LAN qualifiers and all PCs provided for the players by epic.LAN.
Casual gamers at epic26, don’t think that we forgot about you with all the recent announcements! The Logitech & ASTRO Gaming family have got you covered too as they’ll be supporting even more activities at epic26, including:
And thanks to Logitech & ASTRO support on the pub quiz, that also means that all your entry fees will be donated to Special Effect!
