Adroits ET Masters update

Hey folks, just a quick update to put you in the picture in regards to the upcoming Adroits ET Masters event in June.

Since the announcement last month, we've been finalising all the last bits in order for us to open the signups to teams and allow payments to be made. The main 2 details we were working on were the hotel discount and the computer rental. I'm happy to say that Hart van Weesp have agreed the discount with us which allows each of you to save 5% on your room bookings with that hotel. As for the computer rental, I'm sad to say the news isn't as positive.

For all of our events thus far, we've worked with Azerty.nl which is one of the largest online PC shops in the Benelux region. We've been chasing them almost daily over the last month and have finally received a response today in regards to their PCs. They had 24 stations available to us, but have since sold 12 of those and decommissioned the other 12. The reasons for doing so have not been disclosed to us.

Please be assured that we're doing our absolute best to make sure we can get enough PCs for the tournament to run successfully. We do not want to ask people to sign up and pay for the tournament until we know that we have the resources to run the tournament for you.

We'll make sure to keep you up to date on developments for this LAN event, and apologise again for the delay in the registration period opening. We hope you understand.

We will issue any small updates via our Facebook page.

Oh dear :( Good luck
good that I can reverse my train ticket in case :$
www.alternate.nl / www.mycom.nl are two very large PC distributors in the netherlands, perhaps try and contact them?
Already spoken to them and they don't provide such a service.

Damn, ok, gl :X
Parent
Tried them, but no luck.
Parent
Btw found a mistake at the page

-> Primary Games Enemy Territory (5v5)

:$?
Parent
The page isn't made up properly. Munchies was taking care of it for now. Don't panic :)
Parent
Nah I'm not :D Just wanted to tell you that to avoid misunderstanding.
Parent
i still think if you would put it at first weekend of july you maybe would haven even more teams with exams etc...
Parent
nope, many will spend time with thier family.
Parent
SAGE was first weekend of july and it was a great hit, I see a lot of students dodging this one
Parent
We're not able to commit to an ET event in July.
Parent
could try http://www.salland.eu/
Best of luck seaaaaaaan <3
Parent
Best of luck to find more resources!
Well at least you keep people up to date with news+something will turn up eventually


btw that's quite an ugly logo :D who's responsible for that?
Good luck
inb4 owzo commenting, therefor, I have the right to go shoutcast it in his place!
wait, wait wait.... I'll shoutcast there, no worry!
Parent
I SAID IT FIRST!
Parent
hmmm

azerty is near my house, only 5 minutes, I can talk with them if you want? =)
Why even asking, JUST GO
Parent
change date :P
you cannot attend at that time?
Parent
Cool Logo (The ET Masters one)
Good luck!

If someone drives there from West Germany and picks me up, I'd be willing to provide a PC for the event.

In the worst case you could also ask some Dutchies if they are up for this.
I like the ET Masters logo :D
its pretty good :D
Parent
Good luck guys! thanks for the effort anyway :)
OH THERI KAIR
gl with the search!
Why don't you contact Acer, Asus Dell, HP and Samsung? You can't always assume a no as a organizer/marketing person.
Nobody is assuming a "no" here.
Parent
Have you tried with wzzrd? I read on their site they do event/rental now as well + they have a venue in Utrecht which is pretty close to Weesp were you could maybe get the pc's from. Or maybe it can even be held at that venue, the site actually say they do that but this info could be outdated and it doesnt say how many people it can hold.
WZZRD is out of the question right now.
Parent
what's the problem with wzrd if I may ask?
Parent
The way you say that makes me wonder... Got beef? :d
Parent
Techdata orD&D Distribution They do the same for the Ypres Westhoek Rally, though those pc's are a little less demanding I think they could be interested.
Had a look at them, they can't meet our standards unfortunately.
Parent
what are your standards?
Parent
PCs that can easily run games.
Parent
Well, D&D Distributions is a supplier that works with various manufacturers. At my previous work (small computer-store chain) they were one of our main suppliers and they can provide allmost anything you need. Unless you've contacted them and they stated they couldn't meet your standards I think you'd be suprized what D&D can do for you.

On a last note I can suggest tones.be This is not a supplier but a computerstore with three settlements. Advantage is that once the computers have been used they can actually be sould by the company at some discount rate which would give them the benefits of sponsoring without loosing 100% of their money invested. Just an idea ;)
Parent
Good luck,

I still think that if the event was held in July it would be more successful? Alot of players are busy doing exams/studying/school/etc in June... And you would have an extra month to arrange everything.

Personally if you can, id move the event to sometime in July if you want it too succeed.
July isn't possible for us.
Parent
How come?

What about August
Parent
Our schedule is pretty packed over the few months with work that we're doing. June was the only opening we had for an offline event. Doesn't mean we won't do something later in the year.
Parent
Fair enough, I really dno how well it will be being in June, since i know alot of players wouldnt be able to make it :(
Parent
lans have been held in june many times before, never been a problem
Parent
tMoe would attend on July.
just buy 24 pc's and give them back after the lan ;P
HEHEHE TROLL EHEHEHEHHEHEEH

Parent
Would be epic xD

But ye, I guess they have to give back the money if you return the pc's within 1 week :P
Parent

Parent
If I find a team my pc is avi. The logo looks quite cool and good luck ofcourse.
The only one that doesn't like the logo is obviously Robert again. What a surprise

Parent
