First off apologies for not getting the feedback survey up before the end of the epic.FIVE, the entire staff team were too busy (and last night I feel asleep whilst the laptop booted)!

As many of you know, we put up a feedback survey which allows us to collate feedback and analyse in an objective fashion. This is especially useful when we want to quantify comments to the various third parties used during the event.

You can access the survey here, but remember it will only be available to those who attended epic.FIVE.

Please feel free to continue to add comments to the feedback thread on the forums, but if we are to use the comments in our de-briefings they need to be captured on the survey.

And so it's come to this. After some great matches and a few surprises in the elimination stages of both tournaments, we now reach the finals.

The £1,000 Team Fortress 2 final featuring Infused.Tt eSports and Monster Munch is taking place now. You can follow the live stream over at TF2TV.

The £1,000 Counter-Strike: Source final is scheduled for 12:30 GMT and features the two top seeded teams, Bindips Band of Merry Men and Rasta.Xd battling it out for the prize pot and the glory of winning.

You can follow the match on Source TV, details will be published on the match page when it's available, there will also be live coverage from our coverage partners:

• gamer.fm
• Cadred

Stay tuned for more tournament details from epic.LAN, including the winner of our UT2004 Knockout Tournament.
