Some days ago i remembered a documentary about a very special lan, called MTA-LAN, northern germany. what’s special about it? it’s not held in a big hall, but in a holiday village. each team (up to 9 players) gets one of 29 houses with beds, kitchen, bathroom etc. there are regular csgo lans held at that place, but if a community member (preferably living close to the lan and able to check it out) is willing to try and organise a tf2 event there, i think it’s possible.

pros:
– tf2 exclusive event
– up to 261 participants (a few less with casters etc obviously)
– no need to camp/sleep in shitty hotels
– friday-sunday for 90€ (+15€ early arrival on thursday, +25€ for bread&croissant delievery on saturday and sunday morning)
– located in central europe, probably more skandinavians, frenchies, germans and eastern europeans
– (way) cheaper than insomnia

cons:
– somebody has to organize it
– need to spread word
– i highly doubt it will be a problem, but some people might be worried about going to a country where not everybody is an english native speaker

plez discuss & if somebody feels like organizing this, do it. might help myself, but can’t promise because of uni etc.

what’s the catch? :D

well if you do it in summer you could maybe host the main event outside.

Way more appealing than some shitty hall with too much background noise and people stealing your shit AND barely having any room to put your setup, also not England +1

Sounds decent for a large high level competitive scene. From what i’ve noted about TF2 is most people that go to the likes of insomnia are there for the social/big hyped finals and coverage… possibility of losing a large chunk of that crowd with this setup maybe? It’s kind of more ‘closed’ in terms of the social, and if you don’t know many people already etc.

however, croissant delivery omg

how easy is the place to get to (nearest airport(s))?

Edit: departure by 3 pm on Sunday (if i’m reading it right)… makes things a bit tight potentially

i’d be up for this. Also croissant delivery? :O

i would so go there, great idea.

Great idea, but the problem isn’t often the location; it is the organisation.
Unless there is someone that steps up and actually does something I sadly don’t see a future for it.
