ET-Community, today is the day, we can finally announce the locked in date and location for the LAN. Having talked to a lot of people and discussed several options over the past weeks, we made the decision to go with a location, where we know, what we are getting. We would like to thank everyone for their recommendations!
A lot of people are working hard to offer ET and its players a good platform to compete. Seeing the increased activity, the comebacks, the hard work by so many people in the background, divided on different portals and not to forget people organizing OneDayCups, is really great to see and motivates us. Too many people to list and thank them all in this post. The aforementioned motivation made us set up an offline-event, which we are really looking forward to.
Together we can make the impossible happen!

Ekto Sebhes stRayThe tans will fade, but the memories will last forever
Furthermore, I am personally convinced that the reason for last LAN not happening was not caused by the height of the entree fee. That having said, we would love to have you attending the LAN!
Are you able to share a little more regarding where the money is being spent? Last year there were 13 6v6 teams if I recall correctly, meaning they paid a total of €5070 for entry. The prize pool totalled ~€3050 meaning there was about €2000 left. How was that remaining money spent? I imagine a big chunk would be going to the Take TV venue but it would be nice to have a little more transparency on where the remaining funds are going.
And trust me.. this time we compared many different venues in europe with TakeTV and we even had talks to some people who would also have liked to have us but couldn't fullfill our expectations/wishes for the same money we pay at taketv
I'm confident that all the money paid is being used for the event, I'm not trying to suggest you guys of stealing any at all. But as you suggested, I personally have no idea how much these things cost. I imagine a few others are the same. I was just hoping for a very basic breakdown of where the rest of the money is going.
Last year, around 50% of the funds were used for the prize pool. That means that the final 50% was used for the event itself. But, I have no idea if renting TakeTV place for the weekend costs 500€ or 2000€. Would you be able to expand on this and give a brief list of general costs for running the event?
I'm not "whining" about the €65 entry fee for 6v6. Yes I would've liked to have seen it lower but again I have very little understanding of how much the running fees are.

maybe add a donation button so we can rise the prizepool and ppl will sign up even if the entry fee is high for some!
the location is great and its worth the money
We apreciate the big interest and are rly hyped!! Thank you all for your wise words!!
good job nice to read -- btw a post with aviable players and teams searching would be nice
I think people need to see the bigger picture. Most of these teams play active every day. For teams that are considering going that don't play like follow or fantasy it is pointless for us to sign up.
The transparency thing would be good as you haven't mentioned a prize purse which goes to show most teams are not playing for a prize. With the venue costing just over 1k a day I think the sign up fee should reflect that.
so prizepool is useless then? :XD
or are u going because u think u have a chance to win ?

I agree, nobody can pretend this is a particularly competitive game in 2019. I think it's perfectly valid that you don't want to subsidise someone else's trip. (Especially when we all have girlfriends and mortgages to worry about #financiallyviable)
Though I also get that winning the tournament "for nothing" is kinda bleh. But maybe the prize is some swag/peripherals or a bar tab or something rather than straight cash.

Good luck everyone! Hopefully there will be some good matches.
A lot of players grew up thro the years and got the jobs as well as steady income to support their day to day life, so giving a chip of that cash into ET and have fun there should be the main view for everyone willing to attending this LAN.
e: tho I got more of them
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
TBH the price is cheap, at least if you compare it to any actual hobby or sport. Or simply going out.
Thanks,

Plan & execute.
its really nice to see the activity rising again especially due to the discord, however I recently just moved to Detroit, bought a new car, a shit load of new furniture and what not so I am kinda a little low on money
Who knows tho. Maybe as we get closer I'll reconsider
Hmmm... interesting. Bring [NbK] cash with you
Just thought I'd apply some pressure on you seeing as you've always seemed enthusiastic about the game! Should you reconsider attending, or any other NA player for that matter, it'd be worthwhile checking flights to Amsterdam as it might be a bit cheaper and a pick-up is easily arranged. We've flown to AMS for both the Brussels & Krefeld LAN and Freddy/woott have picked us up.
after 10 years i come back to this site and see this ... damn
I remember 6v6 games started fridayevening / saturdaymorning.
