Counter-Strike returned to Kettering for the first time in 2024 for EPIC.LAN41. You can now relive all the shouting and general antics with the photos captured by UKCSGO’s Freddie “GrimyRannarr” Pritchard.
The Neighbours triumphed in an epic Grand Finals versus K10. The latter had been on the EPIC.LAN stage last October but went home empty-handed… unfortunately for them, they will have to wait another day till they lift a trophy in Kettering. However, let’s take a trip back down memory lane, looking at the highlights and lowlights, the screaming and the shouting, and smooya standing up mid-map during the Grand Finals.
The first LAN of the year did not disappoint.
