England is too far for some x)
if ET gets played on a big lan, it gets more attention :>
more fun on lans like Deamhack & stuff
Every dutchie and belgian said it's too far bla bla, they wont come etc. And that was a major part of the ppl who turn up to lans. and when a Lan is hosted in London, most of germans and ducthies and belgians wont turn up there either. So it's a loss for the event not to have so many attendings. couple of UK ppl wont make up for that loss.
polaks wont come anyway
netherlands isnt that far for germans, especially enschede.
but i saw some illegal kids though
advantage is u can go to every club when u are 18 no need to turn 21.
but you have to be 18 years old to attend a LAN event
no test= auto usk 18!
Germany uses USK not as most EU countries do with PEGI. Due to the fact that ET was never published/sold it was never rated by USK and thus is 18+ by definition. There was a time when ESL admins and especially FlyingDJ (via Giga) tried to make them rate it. Would probably get a 16+ rating. Though that never happened unfortunately. (iirc)
if it will be enschede, im there as well!
maybe in Cologne?
or we just all meet in the basement of
Living not so far from .de border!
i might go see Delta Funktionen tonite but i doubt it :<

If you wanted to ask how much money we need to get it back: None. It wasn't cancelled because of financial issues, but because of lack of time by the orga. :/
Time to step up for an experienced orga team.. ;)
ofc for me austria too :p
i can book a "lanonly" plane from frankfurt 8D
prices will be announced :>
btw germany isnt a good location since such events are not allowed due to public if there a games like et :<
i have an idea: lets host it in austria (maybe salzburg) its reachable,too and no fucking 18+ laws if im right. red bull could be one of the mainsponsors ;D
cheers
Even tho London is quite expensive (for clubbing/food/hotels), the flight are quite cheap tho.
Enschede would be the best location (imo), flights to AMS are cheap, the hotel (at least the one I was) was cheap and had great rooms (with enough space to have two totaly stoned dutchmen crashing on the floor xD)
Germany is uther shit for a LAN, even the Intel Friday Night Games (ESL Proseries) are 18+, if you want to host a LAN where ppl under 18 can participate you have to make two different areas: one for the under 18 where there are only games for ppl under 18 (which ET would be afaik) and one area for games 18+ like CS and CoD
If you want to host it in germany you should chose Frankfurt for the location because you can reach it from every single country by plane (europes biggest airport)

It's just the biggest for people transport.
If you count in the transport of goods, Frankfurt is the biggest in europe
Just google :)
Frankfurt am Main Airport (IATA: FRA, ICAO: EDDF), known in German as Flughafen Frankfurt am Main or Rhein-Main-Flughafen is a major international airport located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 12 km (7.5 mi) southwest of the city centre.[1] Run by Fraport, it is by far the busiest airport by passenger traffic in Germany, the third busiest in Europe and the ninth busiest worldwide in 2009. It serves the most international destinations in the world and is the busiest airport in Europe by cargo traffic
Hi, where does the lan take place ?
Huh quoi il veux quoi le rosbif
::DD
better than enschede!
cheap flights everyday, more connectivity, cheaper accomodation, tube system, just so much easier :D
The amount of UK-players that would be attracted to come and play is a LOT smaller than the amount of dutch, belgian and german players you would lose. There's only half a dozen good UK-players and most of them will come anyway if it's hosted in Enschede.
And then I'm not even talking about changing money for that fucking pound they use in the UK.
With the risk of being horribly wrong again (Wolfenstein-style): Only teams who can achieve a top-8 would go through the hazard of changing money and taking the plane to London.
If you see that out of 16 BE/NL/DE teams at CiC 7 (at least 4 out of 5 players in a team are from 1 of those countries) only 6 teams had a shot at that, CC London would lose more teams than it would gain.
But that's based on my feelings and you will most likely disagree with my presumptions.
That's not even an argument you lazy ass bitch. Just go to a local pank and change euros to pounds. Nothing will happen to you and it isnt really difficult :D
Look at it like this: Out of the 175 participants for CC 7 only 54 had to change their local valutas into euros. If we use those 175 particpants for CC London, 155 will have to change their local valutas into pounds. I'm pretty sure there are people as lazy as me who simply can't be arsed going to the bank to change it.
I've never been and so it will be a good excuse to get out my house.
I hear it's expensive but for 2-3 days I can live off Subway and just stay in a hostel/park bench.
Everything will be near and everywhere is open 24 hours. Plus the Queen will attend, maybe even shoutcast.
