sry for the delay. I will be working on the site soon after private college is done, to make EPIC members and its community a better and secure site.

Clan EPIC reached the Semi-Finals bracket for the GameReplays.org Heroes of Newerth Tournament.

With 16 teams participating, EPIC successfully fought its way through the single elimination tournament until rival team Chinese Gold Farmers (CGF) used excellent map control and warding skills to offset a lackluster performance by CGF in the early game. CGF, however, went on to lose the finals match against Team fiVe in a hotly contested match.

Game One saw EPIC pitted against [D0G].  EPIC's lineup featured Defiler (Elegy), Hellbringer (Kogu), Pollywog Priest (Razor), Accursed (Bladed), and Madman (Pilbots). D0G attempted to fend off the pushing power of EPIC, but the game ended after several team fights went in favor to EPIC. The game lasted approximately twenty-five minutes.

Game Two was forfeit by the opposing team, allowing EPIC to play Chinese Gold Farmers in the Semi-Finals. Game Two saw a similar lineup by EPIC as per Game One and EPIC's better laning skills allowed the clan to take early control of the match. However, CGF pulled through and utilized extremely good teamwork to eventually force EPIC to turtle and attempt to fend off the opposing team, which relied on [CGF]Dewit to carry with Madman, a strategy that unfortunately resulted in EPIC's defeat after the middle barracks went down.

SK.Lyn slaughters ReMiND, LanCraft Gears itself the Two-Day Event.

SK.Lyn bested ReMiND 2:0 in an Orc versus Night Elf matchup to secure his advancement to WCG Korea semifinals. Lyn now must go head-to-head with his former student, srs.viOlet, following viOlet's victories over both Go.Shy and Check. WCG Korea Warcraft 3 brackets currently stand with WeMadeFOX.Moon preparing for his match against SK.Wh0. The victor of Moon versus Wh0 will play the victor of viOlet versus Lyn for the final match.

On the other side of the world, the ever-popular RTS LanCraft Summer 2009 is about to begin. LanCraft features three tournanments, one for each of Starcraft, Warcraft 3, and the famously popular Warcraft 3 custom map, Defense of the Ancients. While LanCraft usually does not see the best of the best in attendance, it does have its shining stars; for example, the Polish DotA team PGS has confirmed their appearance, as has SGC and eSuba.

A few of the Warcraft 3 participants include myR.Horroren myR.Rikytan, and Showme, whilst the Starcraft tournament has attracted such names as Sawyer, MaNa, Crow, Sid, and Tarson, as well as dozens of others for both Warcraft 3 and Starcraft.

The two-day event takes place August 28th-30th in Rymarov, Czech Republic.

Famous Chinese Warcraft 3 player Fly100% took home a $4,300 prize purse as he bested rivals Sky, TeD, infi, and TH000 in a dramatic series of Orc vs. Human for the last several matches.

The final results for WCG China are as follows:

1. Fly100% - $4,300

2. Sky - $1,300

3. infi - $650

In South Korea, Moon and Wh0 advance to the WCG 2009 Semifinals after Wh0 defeated ReiGn and WinNers. Moon bested his teammate and friend SocceR 2:0 in two Night Elf mirrors, with Moon and Wh0 due to face each other for the semifinals. BlizzCon 2009 champion Lyn will play against ReMiND and the winner of that match will play against viOlet, who recently knocked out Check to determine the remaining semifinal bracket to qualify for WCG2009.
