You have to battle 1000's of peoples for a space to setup a sleeping bag. All the hotels nearby will sell out closer to the start of the venue. There will be a gaming area this year, with computers and the likes for the gamers to use during the tournament. There is probably no room in the motel, but you have some cabins close by which are available. And I believe there is one or two extra hotels nearby. | ||

Hopefully TG will inviting pro players and pro casters (and stream it). About the entry fee, it is huge, but remember that its not a SC2 tournament, it is a lan. | ||

We don't have minimum wage, but the worst paid job I know of(that have an hourly rate) is 13.4$/h, Working at a zoo when your 16. If your over 18 I can't think of any job that pays less that 17.3$/h. | ||

In Norway there are few large private fortunes and no real poverty, basically everybody has money. That affects the prices. There is no minimum wage, we have unions to negotiate that stuff. | ||

But of course, low population+oil is not exactly an obstacle. Will there be streaming from TG? It's in the works? Totally neglected? Or somewhere in between? | ||

There was definitely a stream last year, but if it was like, proper broadcasts from the game tournaments, I do not know, since I watched them live. I would guess there is definitely something in the works. | ||
