As of 4.00pm, we're now at the 4 week point prior to epic.FOURTEEN, which means that the cancellation deadline has now gone. As explained in our cancellation policy, within 28 days of the event, we're unable to process any more cancellations unless the event entirely sells out and we are then able to resell your ticket. This deadline is because at this point we have to pay all of the bills out to our suppliers such as the venue based on our expected numbers.
Besides, why would you want to cancel anyway, it's going to be epic! CU @ epic14!
While eSports is growing massively worldwide, our casual community remains extremely important to us here at epic.LAN too and we work really hard to try to keep a good balance for both communities so that no matter how seriously you take your gaming, you all enjoy the event.
So with that in mind, we're pleased to announce that Razer will be exclusively supporting ALL of our epic.FOURTEEN fun tournaments! Our winners will take away Blackwidow keyboards and runners up receiving Goliathus soft mouse mats.
We'll be announcing our fun tournament and casual gaming lineup very shortly, so watch this space to find out more. Don't forget, tickets are going really fast now with less than 100 remaining, so make sure you grab yours before they all go!
We're going old-school at epic.FOURTEEN!
After lots of attempts, we've finally been able to get our hands on the much-anticipated Retron 5 to use at epic.FOURTEEN to add to our casual gaming activities. This awesome console allows you to relive your NES, SNES, Mega Drive, and Game Boy childhood experiences as well as many more console classics.
We'll be gathering up a load of old controllers and games as well as putting on some fun tournaments on some classic games, but feel free to bring along more games to enjoy over the weekend.
epic.FOURTEEN tickets are selling really fast and is on-track to sell out by the event, so don't miss out! Grab your tickets today.
Lakeside Defrag has now been completed. Please still encourage fellow community members to book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!
epic.FOURTEEN is already on track to be our biggest event yet, and with 3 major events in 2015, it's looking like another really exciting year for epic.LAN!
We're looking for people to volunteer in the following areas and to be a part of some awesome events:
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.
Over the past few years, the popularity of board games at epic.LAN has been increasing every event.
After discussions with the venue and some changes to room layouts, we're pleased to announce that we'll be creating a board games area in the Lakeside Foyer at epic.FOURTEEN.
While the Gallery is designed to be a great social space, sometimes board games need extra concentration and as we screen more of our internal coverage and add entertainment to the Gallery, this new area will give board games fans some extra peace and quiet.
Planning to bring your favourite board games to the event? Chat with your fellow players over on our forums to make the most of our new area.
It was touch and go for a while, after the lower than expected numbers at the last event, we've been thinking very carefully about CS:GO for epic.FOURTEEN.
Over the past few weeks though, we've been bombarded with requests for CS:GO to be included in the tournament lineup, so we're happy to oblige!
So to all those who've been asking us to keep it in the lineup recently, make sure you now show your support and grab your ticket for the event and show us that the community really wants the game to continue at epic.LAN!
After many requests over the past few years, we've decided that the gap between July and February is far too long, so in 2015 we'll be hosting three main epic.LAN events. Make sure you add these to your diary and get those all-important holiday requests in nice and early:
After a lot of consideration, we can confirm that League of Legends will be included in the epic.FOURTEEN lineup. The numbers for League of Legends have been up and down over recent events. It was our biggest tournament last February, but then with a low turnout in July for various timing reasons.
So we've decided to give it another chance and hope to see the UK LoL community build on previous events and hopefully smash the numbers from last February. We'll be launching with an initial prize pot up to £3000 (subject to team signups) with the opportunity for that to increase depending on partner involvement over the coming months.
epic.FOURTEEN takes place from 19th - 22nd February 2015 at Kettering Conference Centre, Northamptonshire. Tickets are available for just £65 with over 25% of tickets already gone.
Hot on the heels of our EGX London Dota2 Challenge, we're pleased to confirm the return of Dota2 to epic.FOURTEEN in February 2015 with an initial prize pool of up to £3000.
Dota2 joins the existing lineup of Starcraft2 and Hearthstone as part of our eSports programme at the event, with initial prizepools hopefully to be increased subject to support from our partners.
Bookings are open for epic.FOURTEEN with BYOC tickets discounted to just £55 until 8pm 30th September, so make sure you grab your bargain ticket before time runs out.
