EPIC.LAN has shared details surrounding its Counter-Strike 2 LAN event taking place from October 31st to November 2nd, 2025.
Ahead of the tournament, the UK-based tournament organiser has confirmed that EPIC46 will be a Tier 2 tournament after complying with Valve’s Tournament Operation Requirements.
Alongside confirming EPIC46’s Tier 2 status, EPIC.LAN has reiterated that its tournament status does not guarantee that the event is ranked, meaning it may not contribute to the Valve Regional Standings (VRS).
To be classified as a ranked event, tournaments rely on coverage from Counter-Strike esports publication HLTV, which tracks the amount of VRS points won and lost during matches.
