The Aftermath

After a long and hopefully fun weekend, the first Community LAN event has come to a close.

The winners of our tournaments were:

  1. Team Coolermaster (Golden Tournament champions, 1000E)
  2. yoyomix (GT 2nd, 600E)
  3. Coolmix / Team Fruit (GT 3rd/4th, 250E)
  4. Team Fruit / Coolmix (GT 3rd/4th, 250E)
  5. rockit like neXt (Silver Tournament champions, Steelseries hardware)
  6. Fakkelbrigade (ST 2nd, no prize)

Congratulations to all of those teams! Prize money will be awarded ASAP, please contact me (TCM|dunc #thecommunity) if you haven’t already.

In addition, I’d like to give out some special awards for players at the event.

  • Player of the tournament - FADER fisk - for his immense backstabbing skills in the relegation playoffs, to secure FADER a place in the Silver Tournament
  • Biggest drunk - FADER skoberget - because seriously, I only saw you drunk off your face or looking incredibly ill (the day after :D)
  • Biggest retard - TCM|aves - for not being able to specify which side of the base the intel is coming out of on turbine and getting pissed off when I asked “which side is base?”, and consistently replying “BASE FFS!”
  • Best rager - [FB] Exfane - with his rather pathetic whiney rage
  • Best caller - TCM|dunc - for coolmix whilst speccing the semi finals
  • Biggest cock - coolmix seppo - take that one whichever way you want it

So in summary, the FADER reunion are actually the overall champions, mostly because they’re fucking epic :D

Thanks to everyone that attended - I had a hectic but fun time at the event and hopefully it’s given me the confidence to get another organised :)

Saturday over - what’s tomorrow?

Today we ended a bit behind schedule, meaning we couldn’t play one of the Golden Tournament semis as we were originally intending.

Here are the results of our Golden Tournament group stage.

tclscoresd1

This means that Team CoolerMaster and coolmix proceed in to the Golden Tournament playoffs from Group A and yoyomix and Team Fruit from Group B.

The teams that are now eligible to compete in the Silver Tournament are Rockit like NeXt! who placed third in Group A and Fakkelbrigade who placed third in Group B. The relegation playoffs are currently being played, with vTroopers having just beaten Gathering of SPAcial Heavies and FADER are currently facing off against Rotary Sex Pirates to decide the final team that is eligible for entrance in the Silver Tournament playoffs tomorrow. EDIT: Amazingly the FADER Reunion have made their first two caps of the tournament to win against the Rotary Sex Pirates on Badlands, after a golden cap!

Tomorrow will see the Golden and Silver tournaments Semi Finals and Finals.

The Golden Tournament playoff listings are here.
The Silver Tournament playoff listings are here.

The first game of tomorrow will be yoyomix vs. coolmix which could potentially prove to be a fantastic game. Be here at 12CET to see QuadV’s live coverage of that game.

Public Timetable

The Spare time block at the Saturday afternoon can be used to play PCWs if the tournament is on schedule. If we have some delay, the spare time will be used to get back on schedule.

The Spare time on the Saturday evening is purely indicative. Our aim is to play the first semi finals as soon as possible, to make sure you are not playing official matches too late on the evening.

An image tells more than a thousand words.

FREE BBQ

As some of you already heard, because they booked a room at the Logica hotel, there was a complete double booking on the Friday night. There was a huge communication error between the hotel and the WZZRD crew, resulting in false communication from the TCL crew to our audience. For that we offer you our sincere apologies.

edit: don’t worry - if I haven’t contacted you by now, you are NOT affected by this issue. All of the people contacted have already made alternative arrangements.

To be clear; everyone who booked at room for Friday night at the Logica hotel (the “comfort accommodation”), has been offered to get all their money back from WZZRD. As replacement you could stay at one of the 15-persons huts, or book another hotel in or around Enschede. We remind you that all communication about this issue should be with WZZRD (nick@wzzrd.nl). Communicating through the TCL crew will only slow things down in this case.

Since WZZRD feel they have to compensate they will organize a completely free BBQ for everyone attending the event! This means nobody has to pay even a cent to enjoy hot fresh meat from the grill with everyone at the LAN venue. Later today we will post a detailed timeschedule for the whole event. Please stay tuned.

We need to know exactly how many people would like to enjoy the barbecue, so please comment on this post if your team would like to BBQ and with how many players. If you’re a visitor - please reply and state you are a visitor!

Deadline: Thursday 2nd of July - 16.30 CET  - we need at least 40 people!

PS. Or make a post here!

B B Q !!!

On Saturday evening we will organize a grand BBQ for all teams participating in our tournaments. In the early hours of the evening, between the Golden Tournament group stage and the Silver Tournament relegation (more information below), we will take a break to enjoy a BBQ in the sun outside!

Together with butcher “Wim Tubbergen”, who is an experienced BBQ organizer, we can offer you a complete BBQ for only 2 euro per person! This works only for the players in our tournaments, so that is anyone who bought a TUP ticket. Visitors can enjoy the BBQ for a mere 7 euro per person.

Silver Tournament relegation

We had to make some room for the BBQ, because the time-schedule is very tight. Thus we have altered the structure of the ST a little bit. The bottom 3 teams from both groups will no longer face each-other in another group stage. Instead, the teams ranked 3rd will get immediate placement for the ST playoffs, while the bottom teams face each-other in a relegation match. The number 5 of Group A will play the number 6 of Group B and vice versa. The winners advance to the ST playoffs, the losers drop from the tournament.

These teams will play one map less than in the older structure, in exchange for a grand BBQ. We hope you agree with us that this is definitely worth it!

We need to know exactly how many people would like to enjoy the barbeque, so please comment on this post if your team would like to BBQ and with how many players. If you’re a visitor - please reply and state you are a visitor!

Deadline: Thursday 2nd of July - 16.30 CET  - we need at least 40 people!
