Hey everyone, just wanted to share some of our ideas for L.A. LAN 3 and the possibilities of doing an event in Europe.
L.A. LAN 3 Considering everything going on at this time, we can't give a hard confirm on when this will be, but August is the month we have in mind. We are hoping to be able to officially announce this event in June.
In addition, we are planning to add an open qualifier to cover travel expenses for one player. It's undecided if this will be region restricted. With the possibilities of doing a LAN event in Europe being so uncertain, the idea of adding the qualifier was to provide an easier opportunity for a player in Europe to attend.
EU LAN This is being seriously considered internally. If we are able to finalize a venue in September, then an event in Q4 is definitely possible.
A venue in Warsaw was recommended, but the format may have to change and a sign-up cap added to make it work. If we had to go this route, would you be ok with a first come, first serve signup?
If there are any venues/locations you think might work, please share! I'd like to keep the same format as L.A. LAN if possible, but we'll work with what we can.
I know that the coronavirus/Covid-19 could delay all of these estimated dates, but what I can say for sure at least is that L.A. LAN 3 is a YES, a qualifier to cover travel expenses is a 95% YES, and a LAN event in Europe is a we want to.
Thanks again for your support of the previous L.A. LAN events and the ASL.
I've tried to get a LAN going in Stockholm, Sweden. But due to the Corona situation it got cancelled. But Inferno online in Stockholm is one of the biggest gaming centers in the world and probably most high tech as well.
So if you interested in hosting in sweden i can help out. I got a good contact at Inferno Online.
All of these sound fantastic! I hope you can arrange the tourneys! Also I agree with M3t4PhYzX regarding first come first serve is not the best. There must be some bigger "place" where a BW LAN could happen (if that is an issue I mean). But maybe we are too optimistic anyways, I don't know. GL!
