Do you think that hosting ETF2L playoffs this way could be realistic? The dates for DreamHack summer are a little odd, and it would leave the spring etf2l season with no lan finals. It's something to consider, but unlikely. The main reason is that you would only know a few weeks before the event if you were going or not. The large advantage for planning lans in advance is booking things for cheap.

71 #71 kKaltUu -3 Frags – + Hmm, I hope so Sideshow. The way it looks like now, is that geel saved the day yet again by providing the entire(?) prize pool and another sponsor just riding on that. I can imagine this invitational (or TF2 LAN for that matter) being hosted at another LAN and having the same amount of exposure. Even more if you look at travel options if moved to mainland EU. I really hope I'm wrong and your sponsors will step up and put a hefty prize pool in the game or provide suitable accommodations for the teams. Hmm, I hope so Sideshow.

72 #72 cirlo 1 Frags – + That's such a fantastic news!

Do you think it will substitute Insomnia as the "biggest tf2 lan"? I knew one of the problems with I lan series was the cost to reach the place and board & lodging. Did you find Dreamhack more... affordable or (as I'd think) not? That's such a fantastic news!

73 #73 riotbz 1 Frags – + DreamHack should at least be more affordable for NA and AU participation, just ask any of the ex-iM, mix^, 4G, etc. players how much cheaper it would be to have a major LAN tournament somewhere other than the UK (Consider flights, currency conversions, etc.).

Did you find Dreamhack more... affordable or (as I'd think) not? No, the amount of support we get from Multiplay isn't likely to be matched anywhere probably ever. kKaltUu Hmm, I hope so Sideshow.

I really hope I'm wrong and your sponsors will step up and put a hefty prize pool in the game or provide suitable accommodations for the teams. Same amount of exposure in terms of number of people at the event who saw it? Sure maybe. Amount of exposure in terms of getting people in a position of power interested in the game? No way. LAN exposure doesn't mean exposing the game to regular gamers it means exposing the game to people who can actually make a difference and there are very few LANs at which you can do that on this scale. There's only really the insomnia LANs and Dreamhack. [quote=cirlo]That's such a fantastic news!
