EPIC Battle League Finals

After 11 weeks of league play, the final week of The EPIC Battle League is finally here, with our top 8 Thursday tonight and our Saturday Finale on the horizon, I thought now would be a great time to catch you all up to speed on the League!

Thursday Top 8

After all the weeks of play, our top 8 players are playing off this Thursday, due to the restriction of eventlink, we cannot make top 8 in the custom pairings and keep it single elimination. The pairings will be as follows:

Ryan Kruger VS Greg Davies

Rowan Haynes VS Matthew Macinante

James Nicol VS Liam ED

Patrick Collingwood VS Tim Stieler

A huge congratulations to them all, regardless on how they place during Thursday, they will all be walking away with cash. The prizes for top 8 are as follows:

1st wins $200

2nd place wins $100

3rd place will win $75

4th place will win $50

5th - 8th place all walk away with $25

In addition to top 8 this Thursday, our modern community has asked to do their own side tournament, each person contributing their pack upon entry to the prize pool. For more details see either myself (Larry) or Vaughan on the night - details are still being hashed out.

Saturday Finale

Jene from Jene's MTG will be there doing his Buy/Swap/Sell from 9 AM to 1 PM, and although Saturday is a closed event, Jene is open to all customers on the day regardless of their reason for attendance.

Saturday is open to all league participants that achieved an attendance rate of 75% or more, and whilst I could list all their names here for the interwebs, they already know who they are. Regardless of where you placed in the overall league, this is day is to reward our patrons who dedicated the last 3 months to playing modern at our friendly local game store. Entry to the Event is $30 but with the prize pool as high as it is, I think you'll find the price rather inticing

Prizes for Saturday are as follows:

1st Place wins $500 Cash!

2nd Place wins $200

3rd Place wins $150

4th Place wins $100

5th-8th Place wins $75 each

AND everyone else receives $30! - think of it as a free day out

Why the cash back? We operate on full transparency at EPIC Ipswich all the prize support has been calculated based on profit margins for the price of entry every Thursday making the prize pool just over $1000 once you factor the $30 entry. In honesty, The Benevolent Owners, make Modern as cost neutral as possible and running a league of the calliper, the weekly prizes are making us lose money on Modern events (we make up for it in other places). I'm telling you this so you know just how passionate The Benevolent Owners are about this community and how much they want to encourage Magic the Gathering events here at their venue.

Your Friend and Ally,

Lachy

The website got a facelift

It has been busy busy busy behind the scenes here at EPIC Ipswich over the past fortnight. Prep work for the Benevolent Owners shared vacation, juggling the change in the store's layout, new til systems, new television menus, and becoming increasingly popular. This isn't even factoring in the change in menu, or the upcoming events planned. We have been busy and you can trust I'll give you, loyal readers, a store update once we get time. In the meantime, our website has been updated by yours truly. When I first did the original website home page I had the essential elements, with a lot of my working hours, I've been making the website more streamlined and more friendly to our bandwidth. Please note, that the game pages are still to be updated to provide you more information about what we do here. In the mean time, anticipate big things on the horizon. I saw some streaming gear in the offices.... I suspect it will have something to do with videos on the social media end....

Star Wars Legion joins the Ipswich Tabletop Association

Thursday nights at EPIC Ipswich are arguably the busiest in terms of customer and distribution. We house Yu-Gi-Oh!, Star Wars Legion, Magic the Gathering Modern, some private D&D Games and the Ipswich Tabletop Association (ITA). The later mostly specialising in Warhammer (40k, Age of Sigma and now Horus Heresy). After sharing space for ages, the ITA and Legion community have decided for mutual benefit in merging. The ITA is a community and social group of Tabletop Wargamers that love Warhammer to the point they create their own terrain and purchase maps for their members to use. With the joining of Star Wars Legion, both groups can now share resources to the benefit of both communities. On the surface to the general public, this shouldn't change much. Behind the scenes it makes managing the community of war gamers more streamlined for EPIC, reducing the amount of backwards and forwards to communicate to the separate communities. If you're interested in learning to...
