I would like to give a personal thanks to our Sponsor Intel for making this possible, Blockbuster.co.uk for their support, Dreamhack for the use of their fantastic computers. In addition our events simply wouldnt work without the expertise of YCN-Hosting & Ravenwood, nor the efforts of GamesTV.org or the other supporting coverage organisations and last but most certainly not least the admins that ran on empty all weekend long!

cu cc8 :)
All the hardworking people THUMBS UP!
CiC7 WAS THE BOMB! when is the next one:D?
in et: YoYo Tech
in cod4: infinity-skills
Were those the ones without PS/2, if so, they were shit ;d
im pretty sure there are gamings that take all the money, some are just taking entrance fee costs...
oh wait ;xd
we got 35 teams playing in ET tournament... every team had to pay 250 euro... 35*250=8750...
Prize pot - 5000 euro... Where izz teh moneyzz Tosspot? :>
almost always money from entrance fee goes for the prizes... prolly same situation here...
On the other hand im pretty confident about this missing 3 grands... Crossfire is sponsoring trip for the admins + some money for wzzrd...
Just wanted to get confirmation from toss...
in case you didn't know, only post communistic countries & scandinavia don't allow for any amount & they can put u to jail for that.
all other countries allow up to couple of grams &/or you'll receive ticket like for drinking beer @ public places.
am not saying that czechs are bad choice, actually i like this even more than netherlands. however my point is that you can get top notch stuff in every single country if you're smart enough.
maybe its expensive for eastern players to come to euro zone? it wouldnt work that way if the lan was organised in czech rep... which is just cheap country...
There are plenty big cities in Czech, same as Poland or Ukraine...
Currently:
1 euro costs 3.88 zloty
1 CZK costs 0.15 zloty
And you dare to tell me it isnt cheaper :X
Ow and the cheapest flight i found was around 200 euro...
Stop being ignorant...
And I'm not saying that Czech Rep is 3rd world like. All I'm saying is that it's not worth to organise it in the Czech Rep when you take everything into account. Otherwise why not organise it in Ukraine or Romania? It's cheaper then Czech Republic.
After Taking everythin ig account Middle Europe is the best place to make LAN... Accomodation is cheaper because its not euro anymore, Its closer for Fins, Swedes and Estonians...
Renting the LAN place would be cheaper prolly same with pcs...
give me ONE reason why Holland is better than Czech republic or Poland or Ukraine, OR even Germany[however it would be pretty expensive]
Here, I give you 8 reasons:
1) Because Tosspot wants it and he organises it so why would he listen to you when he wants to organise it in holland?
2) Like I said, you CAN have cheap accomodation in NL so cut the crap about the expensive euro. I bet in Prague it's more expensive then in Enschede.
3) Proximity of the majority of the xfire people (there are way more people on xfire from BE/NL/GER/UK then from CZE or UKraine)
4) It has already been organised 7 times in Enschede so why change it? Prolly you get some discounts etc.. + they are trustable owners + easier to organise when you know them. Also a number of admins are from NL + loads of NL people can let people sleep at their place, not so in CZE.
5) More wealthy country so easier to attract sponsors. I doubt you can easily get that much sponsor money in Czech rep. like in NL
6) Cheaper flight tickets to NL/GER and way more airports close by
7) It can't be organised in Germany because of the law (no under 18 allowed) so no option
8) overall more people speak English in NL & better (handy for PC problems etc)
Now if you start to use arguments too and explain why it should be organised in Czech Rep, that would be great! And don't use the "it's cheaper then in NL" because that's not true. Hotels are as expensive as in Western Europe and there are way more options and possibilities to sleep affordable close to a LAN-center in NL.
on the other hand im affraid of being raped by homosexuals in NL :<
especially for scandinavian/baltic teams its pretty much impossible to go for lan like this if u won't get paid off by sponsors
1st of all u need to rent the whole hall + cp's and so on
next to this u nede to support the admins and so on
get brain pls^^
Mrh. I don't really care, just hoping that the money saved is used in getting ET to another LAN before the end of the year.
So yeah, they played with d. tags because ODEE helped them out.
Maybe you need to start praccing now in the middle of the nights so you can't use this excuse at cc8.
but seriously, if you lose a game then you lose, dont blame the time that it was to late, i'm sure p&p wanted to play earlier aswell, but if that aint possible then it aint possible.
En hij pest me altijd online dus ik hield me maar in :-P
hopefully another event and KKC will attend (With Rhand, so anyone who wants to beat him up can plan on atending)
what was that? windy?
I blame the beer this time!
EVERYONE non-dutchie i spoke to had that... holland is broken
_ lot of teams +- 35 , big plus
_ 5v5 format turned out to be good
_ some really great matches
_ Utter shit coverage ( sorry TosspoT but the stream was really suckage)
_ Prizemoney? Isn't 35*5*50 about 8700 euros? Only 5000 as a prize rather low? I expected something like top 5 paid.. (especially since CoD has 12K entrance money and only 9000 prizepurse? , 6K to rent the venue + admin expenses is rather lol)
_ Hope there'll be a cc8 , would like to attend one again
but still, a few of you _might_ always continue, atleast that's what I think :p
brb gonna splash water in my face or so ;d
need cc8 announcement. next time i want to book early...

And also for the ET part, I know I could probably look that up but itäd be convenient if it where at display somewhere, for those of you that were there as admins it shouldn't take that long i reckon?
Overall though, well done. I'm glad that there are people organizing events like this! :)
