UKESA LAN

Posted by DoZ at 13:25 23/1/2005.

Those folks over at UKESA have announced a 32 team double elimination LAN coming up next month. For those of you who don't remember, UKESA started up several months back with Myers, Morgan and some others who I don't recall (Sorry, I'm sure you're all important and fantabulous!)... and quickly saw the removal of Myers due to "internal differences"!

Prizes have not yet been announced but Morgan assures me that they are "decent for a first event". The venue shall be CyberGamesZone up in Newcastle. Home of the infamous geordie who departed this scene for COD (cue pointing and laughing). The dates are 19th and 20th of Feburary - Saturday and Sunday for people without calendars.

The price per team is undecided at the moment, but it will be on a first come first serve basis, payable on the website. All details are expected to be finalised soon, and until then you can go and read the fancy pdf press release!

For those who have transport problems, word has it that National Express have cheap tickets until March 6th.

doubt you will get 32 teams, especially as GGL 5 is going to have 16 teams and they dont seem like too many mixes.


announce the prizes soon so we can choose! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Hrm! I hope they didn't set these dates intentionally! Its ok for CPL/ESWC to battle it out, but why the need for small UK LAN's to do the same thing! We'll get no where if things like this happen!

Oh, and GGL > ;) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Nice constructive critisism Hotshot, "It's s*** why go" How about letting us know why it's s*** and might make for a better conversation.

Apologies to GGL, we had no idea it was even happening (and I didn't even know what it was..), we're finalizing our calender for the next year by the end of next week so events will be announced in good time in future. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
