Hello dear ET community,
It's been a week now since the last LAN, time goes by so fast. I've heard several people talking about how they're already looking foward to the next one, which made me wonder a few things:
1. How many teams/players would be interested in attending yet another LAN? Afaik Visual, cats, trickjump, brainstorm and erase would be up for it 100%.
2. Which date would be the most convenient for everyone? I'd say either in 6 months (somewhere in the month May), or a year from now (somewhere in the month November, as the summer months are a no go.
Let me know ur thoughts xox esSe

Avi for LAN's.
However having the LAN a year later will risk people going inactive and not returning which is probably something I would do.
If that's the case then big cups/tournaments will need to be organised to keep people interested until the next LAN.
For example, big tournaments didnt keep you from going away from the game (untill last moment you were asked to join rushit again).
Even then its kinda hit or miss, e.g. Allstars will have not so skilled people in there just to fill the numbers - which makes the whole prestige of 'Allstars' drop heavily
e: But September would be a nice date for next lan in my opinion. Because i will be 18 then
And i'm kinda motivated to host some more cups to keep ET alive :)
Money tournaments won't change anything if it is not a significant amount of money people can win. Having price money for the United Cups did not increase activity whatsoever. In my opinion it was just a waste, people will play if they want to and not be motivated cause of money (maybe except for
That's not true and not relevant, don't expect people who read cf once in 2 months to donate
And if its gonna happen im sure every player would donate min 10 e
:DD
only solution: move to dirty bomb and increase the activity in this game, this game still has a chance to get sponsored/getting big (eventho the chance is low but still higher than et)
i hope u were supposed to reply Specula, right?
On the other side, if everyone who quit / won't come back for no reason other than ET being dead were to play again, we would have 100 6on6 teams easily.
Shame some of the czech guys have proper reasons why not to play :(
Make Polaks come, try to persuade players that can persuade their old buddies to come back to have fun and a beer, get 16 teams.
Do ShowMatches, allow people to stab igla, try to create something, where you don't have the same 14 players playing against each-other every day... Create some interesting cups for viewers that merlin could stream(if the players would be up for it and he also).
Last chance, contact Activision and told them they're cunts
edit.
Unless I need to go carry legendary
btw ofc enschede was way more familiar.. i liked the botkamp but that might because of the awesome setups.. if its doable to have such setups in enschede it would be fucking awesome!
they then pick lineups :)
It seems to me, based on journals over the last week or so, the LAN wasn't really about money & glory. Once you take away the computer screen (& behave like actual human beings) this community manages to get along quite well. Lots of you came back to have a beer with old mates, many of you made new friends. How many people go to LAN to make money? The casual drunkards are paying sqzz's plane ticket and going home with empty pockets and a weekend full of good memories. Why not make it more accessible? Eliminate a cash prize (mice or herbal's bananas or a crate of good beer), lower the entry fee enough to cover expenses. You could potentially see more interested players, especially if it means you won't be paying €[insert cost of last lan per one player here].00 to play 3 games.
TIL there is a definition of how humans are supposed to behave.
