EPIC.LAN renews partnership with Intel

British tournament operator EPIC.LAN announced the renewal of a partnership agreement with technology company Intel. The parties are renewing their original deal for a third year. As a result, the company will continue to support ongoing championships throughout 2023 by offering prizes in addition to showcasing its products.

2022 has been a breakthrough year for our collaboration with EPIC.LAN, thanks in no small part to the support we have received from a growing community of gamers, streamers and esports players. With products like the new 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-13900KS processor delivering unprecedented speed to desktop users, Intel continues to lead the way in gaming. We look forward to sharing EPIC i9-13900KS, Intel Arc and other innovations with you.

Mark Walton, Intel Graphics & Gaming Communications Europe Manager

The parties will continue to encourage the growth of the mainstream esports scene in the UK through tournaments, the first of which will be EPIC38.

In 2023, as we celebrate our 20th anniversary as a LAN event host, we are thrilled to renew our partnership with Intel to continue the important gaming and esports activities of player development and behind-the-scenes paths to the industry. Intel has a very clear focus on EPIC.LAN and community-based game support.

John Winkle, Managing Director of EPIC.LAN

The upcoming EPIC38 Championship will take place at the Kettering Convention Center from February 23-26. As part of the renewed partnership, Intel will also support a range of activities throughout the year, including outside of EPIC.
