After dropping to the lower bracket following their earlier loss to Rasta.Xd, Team CRG fought off FM TOXIC to face Rasta.Xd once again in the Grand Final in what proved to be an epic rematch.
For much of the LAN, it looked like the tournament was Rasta's for the taking, having only lost one map throughout the tournament. But a tense battle ultimately delivered Team CRG their first epic.LAN win with Rasta.Xd once again taking 2nd place and their 5th podium finish at our events.
You can read an in-depth report of Team CRGs path to the final over at Cadred. And you can also download the demos now to watch the action back.
Well that was epic.NINE and the last of our events at Uttoxeter Racecourse.
As always, we value your feedback so that we can continue to improve our events, and it was your feedback from previous events that helped us to make the decision to move to Kettering so that we can take our events forwards to the next level.
You can let us know what you thought about epic.NINE in the following ways:
We look forward to seeing you all at epic.TEN at the Kettering Conference Centre in February 2013.
So in the social hall we had three Fun Tournaments and they were packed with players all battling it out to win prizes from our sponsors.
The F1 2011 Tournament was won by Booti who won an Avermedia Live Gamer HD and hot on his heels was Hodgster who took home a Tt eSports Mouse.
The UT2K4 Tournament was won by someone other than Vardy this time round! So in first place we had GotenXao who won a Tt eSports PC case and in second place was Dae who won an intel external HD.
The Beach Volleyball proved to be a popular stand in for the boxing and if you've seen the images on our galleries i think you'll agree it looked like fun! The winner was Antrobus who took home an Avermedia Live Gamer HD and smashing his way to a close second was Adunas who took home a Steel Series mouse.
After 2 days of racing and incidents the F1 2011 at epic.Nine is completed. With Booti and Omega Hunter holding 1st place in the championship it was all to play for. Hodgster sat in 2nd 10 points off.
It was a really close final race with the grid spread. Booti worked his way up from 7th to 3rd Behind Hodgster and Matt 2k34. Omega Hunter had made a bad decision on the set up so could not find pace or balance. The race was a wet one which made it especially hard work to put a fast lap in.
What a fantastic tournament there was all kinds of exciting matches happening throught the weekend and the winners have been confirmed as Phantasmagoria with Apex eSports coming in second.
We are very excited to announce that we will be moving to a new home ready for epic.TEN and beyond.
On 15th February 2013, the doors will open at the Kettering Conference Centre to welcome the epic.TEN participants.
The team has enjoyed a number of recent successful events at Uttoxeter Racecourse and we have really enjoyed our time here, we would like to thank the team at the Racecourse for supporting us as we have grown. However, there are some size and technical limitations of the venue which caused us to start our search.
Bookings for epic.TEN are now open with a £10 launch discount until the end of September!
The first round of the Unreal Tournament 2004 elimination tournament went underway Friday night at a slightly delayed 6:15 starting time, seeing 22 players demanding their piece of the action, and their stake at the prize.
A slight change to the planned fun tournament at epic.NINE, meant that Boxing was off the cards and Volleyball was in! With 8 competitors donning their best beachwear they took it in turns to battle it out on the sand (as well as shaking some moves!) to make it into the quarter finals!

The opening Ceremony at epic.NINE was a bit of a giggle, We had our very own JoeShow reading an excerpt from a very popular novel which when read in his three voices (Sexy, Duke Nukem and DJ) was hilarious.
Next up we had a group of would-be conductors attempting to conduct the Wii orchestra playing the Zelda Theme. With a chance to win a pint from Winbar and a discount off of epic.TEN, competition was tough and in the end with a score of 76 the winner was ddanblack! So well done to him and all the competitors for providing some entertainment at the opening to epic.NINE.
With a countdown from 10 the lights were soon out and it was go go go on what is set to be a great LAN weekend.
