I just think about teams…

We have made 6 community LANs by ourselves in Russia in last 2 years (2 in Moscow and 4 in St.Petersburg). In Moscow there were 32 and 16 teams, last event in St.Pete got 16 teams. So I think there is no reason Europe won’t get 16 teams in Amsterdam…

btw I have realised that we can do cheap flight from Tallin or maybe Gdansk – so russian team is more than possible, I think :)

might actually make a team for this, try to lock down the date asap

Do you just dover-calais it then?

Yep, then its just a 4 hour drive to amsterdam, not too bad tbh. Tank of petrol there, tank of petrol back. Things to buy:
Ferry Ticket for car:
Petrol x2 tanks:
EU Breakdown Cover:
Car insurance for EU:
Parking:

Probably end up about £100 each. – Kaidus’ link to the comfy trains does look like a good idea though for those non-drivers. Then just get a cheap hostel in amsterdam for a few days unless The lan centre has anywhere on site? Then use the rest of your money on hash cakes, truffles and weed o/.

Ferry from Newcastle is pretty damn cheap if you know where to go. Would probably prefer roadtrip, if not with train

Oh yeah, one more thing

Quoted from Qun

the team limit of 32 teams is reached, 50% of all the tickets will go to the prize pool too.

There’s one thing I really have to guarantee to the company and that is a minimum of 16 paid teams. Is the TF2 community able to reach this amount of teams?

If you have a full team ready to attend, where/who do you inform of that? Post in this thread or?

Just had a look at the http://battleofamsterdam.euBattle of Amsterdam[/url] site for the first LAN they are hosting in 2/3 weeks. (MW3-Xbox360)

Site is allready looking really slick, with good travel/hotels/nightlife information, which can indeed (as Qun said) only become better and more complete after these first 2/3 events.

Think i’ll probably check out the stream for this MW3-cup for a bit when it’s happening, just to check out how they provide coverage and see the venue/atmosfeer.

I’m so glad everyone in our community so far is allready sounding really exited for this… :)

I’d say this is actually something everyone should do if possible.

Qun’s organisation are just getting on their feet and we should do everything in our power to support them now if you expect them to be hosting a TF2 tournament in 5 months time.

As for a VanillaTF2 article, I spoke to Qun about it and it’s probably best not to overhype this thing until they have a few events under their belts and some more concrete details on the actual TF2 event…
