Hey Guys

I've run offline (LAN) tournaments in the uk for tf2 for the last 2 years hosted by multiplay. This has just been 6v6 tournaments (with last summers tournament reach over 300 tf2 players!). Basically its a 4 day gaming festival and the international centre in Telford UK which is open 24 hours - You bring your pc play a few games of whatever you want, play in the main tournament, and drink some beers with guys you've spoken to online over the years and have a good laugh.

You may think its "nerdy" but hell we're playing tf2 so we're probably "nerds" anyway but its the more normal and sociable people that come to LANS anyway so its always a good laugh, ages from 15-50 normally attend. There are plently of hotels within walking distance and theres even a gaming exhibition hall with all the latest companys bringing BETA games and prize winning events/stalls/stands etc.

Multiplay also hosts tournaments for SC2/CSS/Cod4/BF3/Minecraft/L4D etc in this massive event hall.

The purpose of this post is to tell you that there will be a highlander tourny as well as a 6v6 tourny happening and to get you all to come to lan and play some games! :] It doesnt have to be anything serious, if a lot sign up then money and tf2 posters and merc from valve can be involved but just wanted to rouse some interest here :]. Basically the finalists get to play on a massive stage with the game shoutcasted and streamed live over the internet so its always a good laugh. But at the end of the day its just about meeting your mates or meeting new mates and making/joining HL teams and having a laugh and a beer.

Here is a link to the i46 page if anyone wants more info btw http://iseries.multiplay.co.uk/i46/

Tapley best dancer EU.

I've already got my early bird ticket; I'd echo what he says guys, there are intense moments of bromance to be had as well as a little TF2.

Would be fun to see some HHers there!

Can't get this one off work

CU @ i48 (Lol Winter lans)

I was at I40... and I37(i think)

But I have a serious lack of transport, its not the PC , it all the stuff that goes with it, the tent, the airbed, the sleeping bag, the rubber suit, the flamethrower etc etc etc

But then I spent less time playing games at the LAN than I do at a normal weekend


mmmm beer

<<<<< no transport to Telford this yr either

i live 5mins away from it , i might come if im not busy

ther a field just behind it if ya dont mind camping or a holiday inn next door to it

Camping is at the rugby club which is a fairly long walk when you're drunk and it's really cold outside.

Hotel definitely recommended.

an overview ignore the i45 text (its last year pic)

the camp site is abt 1/2 a mile away

There should be a shuttle bus or golf cart (srs) running between the campsite and internation centre this year so fear not :].

Also Boris post up on the Transport thread on etf2l or multiplay forums you can always ride share with people!
