Q: How will seeding work?
A: 1st place gives an automatic seed into both the next LAN and the Grand Finals. Other placements at the LAN event will gain seeding in the qualifiers for the next LAN.

sounds really reasonable

nice

Q: are the qualify players been flown over?
A: Plane/bus/train/car... Really will depend on each player individually, but yes.

Q: If I don't qualify, can I still pay my own way to go there?
A: There will be a system which allows you to do this, however, it has not yet been announced and it will be very selective upon skill.

Q: If a buddy wants to come with me, can he stay in my room as well?
A: You'll be sharing a room with another player, they're 2 beds... So there are two options, either your roomate agrees or you pay ~$85 per night to have a separate room with your friend rather than another player.

This sounds a lot better than the previous format, building up confidence in the tournament gradually is certainly a good step. Hope it all works out and can't wait to see you all in Prague! :D

Still no answer to my post, i wanna come and see the games, lans are not only about the games itself, its also about all the fun around it! i have decided to trust in this, because in the end, we all really want this to go down. However there' s no locations yet established or dates for Prague/Berlin. I' m hoping this info and decisions will be realised soon.

Q: How can I book tickets for Prague and Berlin?
A: You can book them any time by contacting myself, like I said in the previous thread. Donations are requested, but not required. Basically, if we get 1000 people who arbitrarily say they're going to be there, we might reserve 500 seats. However, if we get 750 people who demonstrate additional interest, there will be at least 750 seats. (Proof of booking room/trip is also good enough to guarantee)

Q: It says in the thread before the lan in Prague will be on the 14th of April, could we have more info?
A: April 12-14, 3 days.

Q: When will the one in Berlin be?
A: August 7-11

I am apart of EywaSC. And yes Liam Neeson will be on call the whole event just in case anything like this happens. We will also have Russel Crowe and Jennifer Aniston for no reason other than to have them there.

Russel Crowe's special attack is similar to Naomi Campbell's, which is to throw telephones at people, which I haven't found to be very effective. I think you should get Denzel Washington instead.

Q: Who is entitled to enter for the online wild card slot?
A: Absolutely lag free North and South Americans.

Q: Why not 2 big LANs rather than 4 small?
A: I value the prize money, but at a certain point, the community also has to be built and it's just a question of where it becomes more important to have a gathering than to have additional prize. It's also for credibility reasons, to build up a trust relationship and to ensure quality of larger events.
