Winner of Goat Sim Tournament.

Goat SimSo today at epic.THIRTEEN we saw a Goat Sim tournament... see we really weren't 'kidding' around....

The competitors went up against each other in groups of 4 and to go through they had to score as many points as possible in 5 minutes. The competitor with the most points went through to quarter finals and so on to the final which changed slightly in that instead of playing on the standard map they played a game of Goat Hockey where they had to score as many goals as possible in 5 minutes.

The spectators seemed to really enjoy it and we think it was a mad but fantastic idea.

Congratulations to Matty2050 who took the title of Goat Sim Tournament winner. You have some fab goodies from ASTRO Gaming!

Everyone who watches competitive League of Legends knows who the big names are, the likes of Fnatic, Team SoloMid, SKT T1, some of whom have a major presence in multiple eSports titles. However aside from 3 Players competing in Europe’s LCS (SK Gamings Freddy122, Supa Hot Crew’s KaSing and Impaler) most viewers here in the UK don’t know much about some of our finest teams.
Here at Epic.Thirteen, in addition to some “mix” teams, some of the best teams that the UK has to offer have arrived to duke it out for the minimum £2000 prize, but just who are they?

epic.THIRTEEN - It's Getting Toasty!

Sounds like the heatwave is with us for the next few days, so it's going to be warm at epic.THIRTEEN. The event does have air conditioning in all rooms we're using, however, those of you that have worked in server rooms/data centres will know that you need some serious aircon to cool a few hundred PCs, and that's not what the venue is designed for, and it would cost thousands of pounds to hire in proper aircon that could cope (which of course would all go on to ticket costs). So please bear in mind the following points to help us keep the LAN as cool as possible during the event:

  • In most cases the aircon is for the room as a whole, so some of you may be located closer to the fans than others and you may get a bit chilly, please bear in mind that we'll have to make some decisions for the room as a whole to stop people and machines overheating.
  • Sometimes you'll see us closing doors to cool rooms down, that may not make sense at the time, but the air conditioning is designed to cool that particular room, if the doors are open, then it will be working overtime to cool the adjacent rooms too.
  • Be sensible with what you're wearing! If you're sitting in jeans and a jumper all weekend, then you're going to get toasty, time to get the shorts out!
  • Drink plenty of water! Even though the bar is open, make sure you have plenty of non-alcoholic and non-energy drinks to keep you hydrated.
  • Showers...(not saying anything more!)
  • Desk Fans - We will permit small desk fans on a one per table basis (not per person), but if we do suffer from any power issues, we may have to reverse this position. There is no limit on USB fans.
  • Turn your machines off when not in use - It would help to bring down the residual temperature if you shut your machines down if they're not going to be in use for a long period of time, e.g. overnight when you go to bed.

If everyone plays their part, we should be able to keep things bearable for you all!
