NORTHWAVE GAMING ASSOCIATION

The crew behind The Community LAN for TF2 held in Enschede, Holland, this summer have posted a press release with some general updates.

“We are just nine small weeks after the official announcement and not even a month after the opening of our sign-ups. We can happily say that we’ve received an encouraging number of fourteen teams signed up for the event. This is, of course, a nice start and pretty close to our minimum amount of teams, but we will not stop right here. We have more than six weeks to go until the event and we are still in contact with loads of teams – all possible attendees. Furthermore we can proudly say that we already have eight of the ten best teams from Europe signed up to the event.

First sponsor
Second of all we have some more good news. SteelSeries have announced their support of the first Community LAN event. They will be providing hardware prizes for the silver tournament. This is great news for the teams entering the silver tournament and also provides exceptional credibility for The Community LAN. We are very proud to announce our partnership with SteelSeries and hope this makes it clear to everyone that we will not stop where we are now.

Mix teams
Two weeks ago we set up our mix page after big demand by the community. This page is dedicated to individuals and incomplete teams looking for other attendees to form a team on the event. As a matter of fact, arranging a team to play with is as easy as making a simple post with some information about yourself. When everyone who asked us about the page uses it, we should definitely be able to get a fairly nice amount of mix teams sorted out. Let me state once again that this is not just for individual players looking for a team, but also for half-formed teams looking for some extra players to complete their line-up!

Accommodation
Moving on to our venue and facilities. WZZRD are now accepting e-mails regarding accommodation. Please note that all of the good rooms are “first come, first served”. All the information you will need about accommodation can be found on our website. The accommodation that can be booked through WZZRD will definitely save you a lot of money, compared to the regular city hotels or Bed & Breakfast locations. If that has not convinced you yet: we can assure you that you will not find any accommodation closer to the event.

Visitors
For anyone that is not actively playing Team Fortress 2 in a competitive way we have also got visitor tickets available. If you enjoy watching matches, like LAN tournaments, want to be part of this unique event or just want to support us by paying us a visit on one or more days, than this is exactly what you are looking for. You will have full access to the LAN area and be able to spectate every ongoing match LIVE, residing just a few meters away from the action. We got some nice deals available for both one day and full event visitors. Make sure you drop by and be there when it all happens! (payment information)

What are you waiting for?
We hope that if you had any doubts left about attending, this post may have served to eradicate them. Do not hesitate any longer. This will be a unique and spectacular event, the greatest Team Fortress 2 event to date. If you are not coming with a team, sign up for a mix team or gather some friends and make one yourself, but be sure to register it. If you are not able to play in any way, make sure you do not miss anything and visit us at WZZRD Enschede. What are you still waiting for? Sign up now!”
