We have a lot of news, a lot to talk about, so make sure to read the whole thing till the end! Put your reading glasses on, it is going to be a wall of text, sorry about that… (:

Signups

Before we dive into it, we want to remind everyone to sign up your team! We cannot make this happen if you don´t, so make sure to click here.
IMPORTANT: You can bindingly register and book the house by just paying 50% of the total (382.50€ if you do not arrive early on thursday) fee for your team. So if you know you will go, but you do not have all 9 people yet, you can still sign up and pay the rest later. Also, in case this was not clear yet, you can pay for all 9 players of your team at once. You do not have to pay per house, but per team. So in case you have not sorted out housing yet, that is not a problem! Please note, there will be no refund of the 50% for signing up in case the event happens. Make sure you can gather 9 gamers!
Signup deadline is 20th June! That might seem a little early, but the guys over at MTA have to make sure we can actually fill this event.

DeutschLAN sponsored by TF2Center.com Fundraiser

As we are approaching DeutschLAN sponsored by TF2Center.com in September with our signups already being open, we are hosting a fundraiser! Our DeutschLAN staffmembers are doing everything they can to make the event as epic as possible- now we are asking you for support! You cannot make it to the LAN because of work, school or other commitments? Worry not! You can contribute by donating! The funds raised by you, our community, will be used for a bigger pricepool, projects around the LAN (such as a documentary) and an overall even more enjoyable LAN-experience. Check out our indiegogo campaign to help and donate. Feel free to save it in your bookmarks and spread it around. The more the merrier!
Of course we would not ask for you money, if we could not provide anything in return…

Highlander showmatch-series!

We are excited to announce that the elite of the Highlander scene believes in our project and wants to help us make the fundraiser and the LAN an unforgettable experience for everyone! We will be hosting a series of showmatches to entertain our donators and promote the fundraiser. Every week for the next month at least two top-notch teams will battle it out live on stream, during which you can cheer for your favourite player and hopefully abuse the donate button as much as you like!

This week’s matchup:

Kicking things off this saturday, 30th May at 20:00 CEST will be Chessclub´s DeutschLAN squad vs Stacked (& friends).

While b33p will most likely have to use a few mercenaries to patch the Stacked roster, since their season has been over and they have not been playing for a while now, Tourettes Chessclub will compete with their LANroster checkers to give the community a glimpse at some of the glory the champs are going to bring to DeutschLAN. The seasoned premiership veterans Scissors, Khazul, quintosh and BreakfasT_Jr will show the “new kids on the block” Raptor and Nik the (premiership-) world in Germany. Sounds like an interesting mixture… only one question remains: who will be the guardians for those two at LAN?

Make sure to catch all the action this saturday over at our friends from BlackOut TV with Bulow, Morphine & Jon, who will provide us with an expert cast for what should be an entertaining evening of TF2 and place your bets on Saloon.tf as 5 percent cut on this game will help fund the prizepool.

This cannot get any better? Well, we beg to differ. We heard the US-boys will make an appearance on next week´s showmatch… If I were you, I would stay tuned for any updates about that one!

Your signups are needed, make it happen, everyone!
