Not sure limiting it to people in HL teams was the best idea. It would always be more of a social thing than competitive and setting aside seats for 10 HL teams (which would be a big turnout) then leaving the rest open would have been fine. People feeling cut out of an idea that seems really cool is probably why a few are throwing their toys out the pram. A chilled out 6’s tournament on the side wouldn’t hurt anyone as well as bring in more people which would be better for everyone. But it is possible I am hugely underestimating how successful it will be.

That what Nik said

Extra house

Quoted from nole

Mindestalter?

we’re working on figuring out the legal issues with this

Quoted from nole

Nur für Deutsche oder darf jede Nationalität teilnehmen?

obviously everybody, else it would’ve been posted in the german subforum

Quoted from nole

Muss man bei dem actual Tournament mitmachen um dort zu sein oder kann man auch einfach nur so hin zum chillen und zugucken wenn man z.B. kein Team hat zum teilnehmen?

Quoted from DCS

Please note that we will not accept “tourists” (i.e. players without teams) for the time being. This may change depending on the participation. It is hard to estimate for us at the moment if this event will fill up.

Und wie kommt ihr auf die Idee das ne HL Lan zu machen?

Quoted from foungi

the capacities are limited, to about 160 players. even if we got the whole site for us, we’d max out at about 240, which is less than insomnia.
there are a few reasons for making it hl (this year):

1. there are quite a few 6s lans already, competing with those is unnecessary, it’d only split the community, since some players can only attend one or two lans.
2. it’s after all the big 6s lans, insomnia among them, so everybody has had their fill of 6s, and i don’t know whether we could get enough hype going. getting enough teams for a high level tournament in september is unprobable in my eyes.
3. because of the limited number of attenders, we are pretty sure it’ll fill up anyways. we’re trying to make the best use of the room we get though, and 9 players per house is more practical than 6 in terms of filling houses.
4. if enough players are interested in making a 6s tournament as well, we’ll obviously organize one. the prize pool for highlander will remain bigger though
5. if this becomes an annual event things might change.

why not try something new? if some people don’t want to come because it’s hl, we’re fine with it. if the lan doesn’t fullfill our expectations they’re right, if not nobody got hurt and some people had fun at a lan.

das nächste mal einfach lesen.

thanks foungi haha q:^)

Quoted from Niicrush

On the website where the LAN is hosted it says one person who rents one of these houses has to be 18 and the regular players need to be 16 +

Guess spy main house wont happen then ;^)
