epic.EIGHT

epic.LAN returns to Uttoxeter Racecourse for the eighth instalment of our main LAN event series, bringing your our unique mix of casual and high quality competitive gaming.

Essentially at epic.LAN we run 2 LANs alongside each other:

Hall 1 - Our casual gaming hall (conveniently housing the bar) with background music, funky lighting and a packed programme of big games and fun activities such as werewolves, our pub quiz and console area.

Hall 2 - Bringing you a series of high quality tournaments with our experienced admin team, currently running Counter-Strike: Source and Call of Duty 4.

Activities

We have a few exciting activities lined up for this event including:

£2500 Counter-Strike: Source Tournament
£2500 Call of Duty 4 Tournament
epic.Games - Various big games will go up through the day where we try to get as many people into the server for some epic action!
epic.Tunes (Hall 1)- Throughout the day and evening we'll get some tunes on the go to give ++ atmosphere.
Live DJ Sets (Hall 1)
epic.Quiz - Join with teams of up to 5 people for a chance to win in our quiz. Everyone throws in a few pounds and the winning teams take the prize.
epic.Achievements - Certain things that you do at the event will give achievements which will be added up at the end of the event.
Not to mention all of the usual things you would expect to find such as consoles, social/chill-out area, licensed bar, etc.
Food & Drink

There will be a bar open during the event, all alcohol must be purchased from the bar. A microwave, kettle and fridge will be available in the venue.

The nearby town of Uttoxeter has plenty of catering outlets which will deliver to the venue which will be listed on the event intranet.

The event team will also be running a 24h snack and (soft) drink bar including items like crisps, chocolate, caffeine drinks and ear plugs.

We will also be bringing in a Hog Roast for epic.EIGHT to warm you up during the cold February months. In order to work out how much meat to bring, you can pre-order your Hog Roast alongside your ticket!
