Rasta vs Team CRG
Lineup
Rasta – jakem, desbourke, sliggy, mole, HenryG
Team CRG – bOWZAr, redsnake, b3n, pritch, chanb0i
Map 1 – de_dust2
CRG took the knife round and decided to go CT first which paid off initially with them taking the first couple of rounds. However it was short lived with Rasta coming back to take the lead 4-2. Some nice team work in mid saw CRG pull back the score to 5-5 but after that the rest of the half went all Rasta's way with some particularly good work from des and jakem. Chanb0i manged to save the last round of the half with a last man standing defuse bringing it to 9-6 to Rasta.
The start of the second half continued where the first left off with Rasta dominating but as CT this time. At 12-6 CRG started to stage a comeback but this was to no avail as Rasta took the last rounds they required to secure the crucial first map win 16-10.
Map 2 – de_nuke
Rasta were CT first on this map which had an explosive start, quite literally, with a nade from HenryG knocking redsnake back for 90dmg. Some successful plants at A saw CRG take a couple of rounds back with some nice nades flying from b3n and pritch combining to take out mole. However jakem and des spoilt the party with the half ending 10-5.
The second half was a lot more balanced with rounds exchanging between the two teams frequently but it was too little too late for CRG with the final score ending at 16-9. Rasta therefore advance to the upper bracket final to take place at 5pm. CRG on the other hand will need to come through the lower bracket and will face XPLICIT first at 5pm.
CSS Tournament Update
So far so good with all the higher seeded teams from yesterday making it through to the next round of the elimination stage. Team CRG are currently tucking into a well deserved full English breakfast out in the sunshine which I am sure will give them the energy they need for their next match against Rasta.Xd. The other upper bracket match will see LiNK face off against TLR. These will definitely be very close matches and well worth a watch on Source TV.
The rest of the teams have now dropped to the lower bracket where they will need to fight their way back through the opposition to make it to the grand final at 11am tomorrow.

Day two of epic.LAN saw more teams arriving for their tournaments loads of big games and our community work shops. DJ haden did his live set and during the evening the epic.TEAM, GamerFM staff and some of the community members dressed up for halloween (yes early we know) as part of our fright night activities where we played games like Zombie Panic and The Hidden. Images from day two can be found in our galleries and on our facebook page.

So epic.SEVEN is now in full swing here at Uttoxeter Racecourse. Build went really well with no major issues and we we're finished well in time for the open at 4pm! Bang on four we had a queue of eager LAN goers ready to get the weekend underway! As the evening went on we had our usual big games and Opening Ceremony to get everyone welcomed into the LAN, during which Joe Styrka (more commonly known as JoeShow) From Gamer FM had his legs (and parts of his torso) waxed for charity. Kamikaze and Squirrel applied the wax strips while members of the community took it in turns to tear off a strip causing Joe some considerable discomfort! It's all for charity though and he was laughing at the end!
You can still donate to Joe's Just Giving page here!
After the Opening Ceremony the big games continued into the night and the LAN got into full swing we even had a fire display by UKTamo out on the terrace which was impressive and something we've not seen at epic.LAN before!
All images from build and day one can be seen on our facebook page or our galleries.
Please help us to speed up the check-in process and keep the queues down by doing the following:
If you are planning on spectating the event or you have visitors coming to see you, please create a spectator booking on the system in advance, it's still fine to pay on the door, but will save time on the day.
Remember, the doors open at 4pm, if you arrive any earlier we'll have to ask you to wait outside or in the Railway Bar sleeping area.
And on another note, please make sure you update your games before you attend to help us save bandwidth at the event.
See you in a few days!
One of the social highlights of our events is the pub quiz, and it makes a welcome return on the Saturday night of epic.SEVEN. As a sneak preview, we can now confirm some of the round topics:
