The venue was great, nice bar and lovely pc’s with 22″ widescreens. Working verry stable, no formats or swaps needed. Only a lot of fps drops even with a fps config. Not able to sit with 6ppl together in all setups was also a small downside.
Maybe provide next time some information about the local pizza delivery or something.
Well done Dunc and entourage.
(The weather did also a good job, i got finally some color!)
First of all props to dunc and amon getting this thing organised.
Two points I see that could have been better:
1. Accomodation awareness. If it hadn’t been for vlijm putting up the possibility to hire the cabins (which were really very comfortable, almost as good as the ‘deluxe’ rooms), most people would never have found out about this.
This might have drawn in more players (those that where thinking they would have to arrange a hotel for themselves). Maybe tie a accomodation option in with the tup payment page, so they can arrange their stay and pay for it all at once. (vlijm&myself had to pay for the cabin this time around and had to run around and get everyone to pay their share).
2. Have WZZRD set up their computers properly. Wasn’t all fun turing up for a tf2 lan and having to play cod4 cuz the computers wheren’t ready. Also having to install mumble&update drivers isn’t really my idea of TUP. (I know im a bit whiney here but for 50 euros i’ve almost been setting up computers more then i’ve played tf2).
Thats my 2cts.
(ow btw I should’ve googled first for supermarkets there where a coupla that where a bit nearer by then the one I took you all to :O)
*edit* add an alarmclock to the ‘things to bring’ page for appe :p <3
There were a couple of times when players had disappeared or hadn’t even woken up and therefore had to be fetched (*cough* appe).
Yes, must have been sooo hard for the other 29 persons sleeping in the huts to wake me up ! :D fuckers.
-Coverage: Very good coverage on resupply etc. But as said before, some kind of tournament tree on a whiteboard or something would have been nice.
-Communication: You did a good job keeping us updated on when we were going to play. Still it would have been nice to know exactly when the next game was supposed to be played so you could have gone and grabbed some food etc.
-Tournaments: Nice idea with the silver tournament working as a “lower bracket”. Wouldn’t have hurt with some more maps and not just your own favourites ;D
-Schedule: Worked fine, I wouldn’t mind starting a little earlier in the morning to avoid it being delayed too late in the evening. If the event was to get increased by another day due to less lan dodgers you could have 1st group stage on day 1, 2nd group stage/early playoffs on day 2 and finals on day 3.
-WZZRD: Didn’t like their setup at all, dream scenario would be 6 designated pcs per team in a row, so that it wouldn’t take longer to set up the computers than actally playing the game. No idea what IT Cafés could host that though. Loved the bar. :D
Big thanks to dunc and everyone else who made this possible, looking forward to TCL2 with far less lan dodgers and hopefully no mysterious alleys in Amsterdam!
hopefully no mysterious alleys in Amsterdam!
what?! but that’s where all the magic happens :D
indeed.
Hi!
– Coverage
Havent got too much to say about the coverage, thought it was fine as even our team got casted once. Arx, Beta and A_spec were giving good commentary, on a certain point i found myself watching them and their pc instead of one of the players, good job!
– Communication (before AND during the event)
the schedule was clear, but because of all the delays we had no clue when to play. Just started another game of “shithead” when dunc suddenly said we needed to play “RIGHT NOW”. Rest was kinda OK, not much to complain about
– Tournaments
Well it was a pity there were so few “shit” teams, i mean most of the teams were div2+ so we didnt stand a chance. Wouldve been more fun to have everyone play for their postition (ie playing for 7-8, 9-10 place on sunday)
– Schedule
Fine, got ruined due to the delays.
– WZZRD itself, as a venue
Prices were good, employees were kinda chill. Tho, they may have been a bit too chilled out because when we wanted to start on saturday none of the things they should have done was done. Kinda fucked up we still had to fix +/-10 pcs
– Anything else!
Im really HATE paying 50€ for 2 hours of tf2. next time make sure we get to play pcws!
Also, the huts were great but people, please make sure you have a place to sleep. I ve had 4 guys asking me if there still was any room.
Yes, must have been sooo hard for the other 29 persons sleeping in the huts to wake me up ! :D fuckers.
Trusting langoing people to wake you up before a match isn’t really a good idea if they’ve been knocked out of competition the night before in a playoff they didn’t know about and therefore intent on going drunk&stoned. ;p Whiteboard may have helped out there ;)
