zP! Announce LAN Event


(A spanish version of this text can be found here.)

A couple of weeks ago we asked for the communities opinions regarding our own, coming LAN event. After going through the answers and questions we talked to some gamecenters in the Netherlands, the location we felt would suit this event the best. After some negotiating we decided to go forward with one gamecenter that's known for arranging great offline events, especially for minor games.

The zpgaming.eu LAN event will take place at WZZRD's gamecenter in Enschede, Netherlands between the 28th and 30th August this year. We will open the pre-registration today with the regular registration (with payment) open in about a month.

Pre-registration will be open for all teams that intend to attend this event. If you register your team during the pre-registration period you will get the opportunity to register and pay for your team one week ahead of all the other teams. At this point we have a set amount of teams at 24 teams, but we can and will increase that if we need to.

As it's very early and the event is over four months ahead of us we do not want to tell what kind of prizemoney figure we intend to have as it will depend on the amount of registered teams, but we will make sure it will be an event worth attending. The more teams that registers the more prizemoney we will add to the event.

All information you will need at this point can be found below:
  • Working title: zpgaming.eu LAN (will most likely change before the event)
  • Game: Day of Defeat: Source

  • LAN Date & Times: (Times will change for the actual tournament)

  • Amount of Teams:
    The current limit is set to 24 teams but if we get enough sign-ups we will increase it.

  • Costs per Team:
    €210 (€35 per player)

  • Accommodation details:
    There are bungalows on sight, this will probably not cover for all the teams. There are hostels and hotels around aswell. A list plus contact details will be published soon.

    There will be a shoutcast. We are also working on sorting out SourceTV's for the event.

    stupid question tho, since we are playing on "not-so-great" computers, are we gonna be able to tweak the graphics like we want or something? Because for some people used to play with crazy pc's it's gonna be a huge difference and i dunno how they will manage that.

    omg Moscow lan was played with default configs and I think with worse pcs than this ones, and it was okay to play, yeah its quite different since im used to play with really big resolution and really good fps, but still okay to play! so dont complain just go and have fun ;)

    158 Hn is offline Belgium Hn 2009-04-27 22:39:48 CEST

    i'm not complaining , just asking a question ^_^ I'mjust thinking with these kind of computers, a fps cfg would be required at least. If not playing in 800x600 isn't my thing :o So can we have more informations about that ?

    #177 we're trying to attend but with holidays and money issues (we've to take plane or make a 1200 to 1500 kms travel), it's pretty difficult. As most of us (I mean mysTix) are still students, money isn't raining atm :(

    We'll need time to organize, we won't be sure for about a month ...

    182 hellboy is offline Gibraltar hellboy 2009-05-04 09:20:35 CEST
