Tom “Gumpster” Gumbleton had the following to say on the Talent line up for epic.SIXTEEN.
It’s always a delight for me to keep on pushing talent to the next stage of their development of the eSports ranks from epic.LAN. We’ve had many casters at epic.LAN ranging from Deman, PansY, Machine, & Kyanite and of course we enjoy helping these people who want to continue their dreams and aspirations in the eSports World.
Whilst we have stuck to some of our more experienced casters like Mark, we’ve opted to go a bit experimental in the form of Heather who has no casting experience whatsoever but has expressed an interest in getting started. I feel that this is a great platform for Heather to begin her journey and see how she feels with it.
Epic also recently announced a line of merchandise that can be found here
