The UK community's biggest LAN meetup is back in the calendar!
From the humble beginnings in August 2016 at Insomnia Festival, there has always been a big get-together at least once a year in the UK, growing to over 100 attendees in 2019. Sadly, with the announcement that Insomnia isn't returning, the community has had to look elsewhere.
In steps EPIC — a 4-day esports-focused LAN within which the UK community has found its new home, and on top of the meetup the event also facilitates a 2-day single-elimination tournament for BYOC attendees with Finals held on stage, right alongside other large esports titles!
Check out Spazza's vlog of the event to get a glimpse of some of the fun to be had:
The event is located in Leisure Arena, Kettering and next runs from 20–23rd February, with the osu! tournament Qualifiers taking place between 12:00 and 22:00 on Friday 21st. The top 16 qualify to play a single-elimination bracket the next day, and battling for the chance to duke it out on stage, potentially winning hundreds of Great British Pounds and a lovely profile badge.
Interested in joining in? Check out the forum thread, and make sure to hop into the UK LAN community Discord for more information on the event!

Hope to see you there!
