ICL ET section cancelled.

by Testi • 11 Jun 2013, 21:44 • Journals
Probably most of you already knew it, but the ET section of ICL in Hungary is cancelled due to lack of interest and lack of prizemoney.

Sorry for the teams who were really gonna attend, but i guess in the end nobody really booked anything and everybody was unsure.

Was there any main news for that or did i miss it out, would be probably nice to make something sticky for those who were interested in it.

Yeh and afaik they were all related to setting up a lan and none about canceling the part for ET, well might be wrong as i only checked those topics at beginning.

The coverage was pretty poor, yes there are 3 stickies etcetc but still.

All of us in rockit were trying to contact sebi at some point etc to find out whats going on since we were going to book our plane tickets but no luck.
Let's hope for one in Netherlands again :_)

Myself and Voice bought up the idea of getting a proper LAN going at some point in the nearish future on one of our more recent casts. We have currently raised around £300 or so towards a one day cup but if we could find a way of encouraging people to donate more I don't see it being out of the question. I could certainly contribute a decent amount more towards that total if it was something people were interested in and would actually donate towards.

Everyone seems to want a LAN but really at this point it is up to the players to put their money where their mouth is as there's not much chance of finding genuine sponsors. I know myself and Voice would definitely be up for getting the ball rolling if it was something people really did want.

Amen! I've also been in talks with Homie regarding the RtCW end of a LAN!
I guess it's time to start putting words to action!

Instead of the money for the ODC, would be awesome to save it towards LAN instead.
Might be worth talking to certain people towards finding sponsors, i.e. Munchies/Seanza come to mind. Just people who have organised or have been in the admin section of LANs

Goodluck!

lol.. I definitely didn't expect this from Seanza! I could understand if it was few weeks but 7-8 months? :D basically he just disappeared shortly after LAN and didn't even care to explain to you guys where are the money?

Clown 12 Jun 2013, 20:06
"Problems with sponsors" or something like that. Basically, I have no hope left that the prize money will ever be paid :(

Nothing to do with Seanza, but you are clearly brain dead if you are going to judge someone when you don't know what is going on.

If we did try to organise something I'd imagine we would try and sort out payment at the end of the event to avoid any issues like this. Terrible to make people spend money to travel based on promises that don't actually materialise.

DtSje 12 Jun 2013, 17:35
It sounds like Seanza is an untrustworthy person who I'd very much like to avoid dealing with.

Will definitely be speaking to Voice and having a chat with a few other people about the whole thing, we both agree that The Shoutcast Collective LAN has a nice ring to it haha!

potty 12 Jun 2013, 21:07
Wow, really ben? Seanza is one of the nicest guys I have met at LANs. The money has nothing to do with his side of things. But that is what you get when you take on sponsors. If you want to pay people on time I suggest you don't even think about sponsors.

DtSje 12 Jun 2013, 22:06
If you organise a LAN with the promise of prizes and you don't pay up then I would certainly call that untrustworthy.

As I said we'd be looking to raise the money ourselves so that it can be paid out immediately.

Whats up with you mate, long time no speak!

If you have a contract with a company that are going to give you the prize money and they are failing to deliver, thats the companies fault and will be dealt with accordingly which I have a slight idea about where things are at right now.

Things are good, I am casting a lot right now. Doing quite well other than that.

No LANS for ET anymore, and TZAC was/is a big failure

small ET section of a hungarian LAN didn't work out = no LANs for ET any more? bit overdramatic
