EpicNINETEEN is underway with early wins being claimed by uFrag Eclipse, De_Viraj, ArmChair Athletes and Medicre.CS in the group stages. The group format for this event is a little different to what we’re used to seeing at epicLAN as Ryan “Flakes” Oliver is a huge fan of keeping things interesting. We have five groups of three teams that are playing in a GSL style group stage which contains seeds 4-8, plus the remainder of the unseeded teams. For the top 3 seeds, they play in a round robin group stage to determine their placement in the knockout bracket.
Let’s take a closer look at the groups:
| Group A | Won | Lost | Points |
| Dog Gaming | 2 | 0 | 6 |
| uFrag Eclipse | 2 | 2 | 6 |
| Goblin Gamers | 0 | 2 | 0 |

@ukcsgo @epicLAN why not just do bigger groups? so people can get value for money, and don’t say “we dont have time”

@xL_EMPEROR @ukcsgo @epicLAN Admins wanted to experiment with format, I felt this was a worthwhile LAN to experiment with any changes.
@PeriGumpster @ukcsgo @epicLAN I get you but I also feel for some teams, I assume there must be another group stage for inters after or?
@xL_EMPEROR @ukcsgo @epicLAN Intermediate afterwards. It just gave us a little more experimentation around the stream.
@PeriGumpster @ukcsgo @epicLAN alright because I was gonna say teams end up paying basically £12 per game
