A petition will only do so much, I think we have to get involved ourselves, help them out with sponsors and so on, Valve isnt impossible to talk with either and can provide some prices. If we only relies on DH crew this is gonna fail(again). I think we need a group that keeps the interest up and can communicate with Dreamhacks esport crew. Any volunteers? ;)

The problem doesn't lie with volunteers, OG-admins can vouch for that. We were the ones keeping contact with DH crew and ran the tourney and all. We did everything we could to give TF2 the biggest audience on DH, but the DH-crew treated TF2 like dirt, didn't want to give it support even though they gave us promises. It's impossible to get anything going if the administrators of the LAN themselfs don't support you. Sad but true :/ and I know dignitas and random swedish teams can vouch for that too since they saw us struggle live. From my personal viewpoint I wouldn't mind arranging it again, but then DH would really have to come to me saying pretty much "we're sorry we're gonna do our best to support you" because what they did last year pretty much made me negative towards DH which I've attended every single time for like 7 years in a row before last years LAN. That's how bad it is (was?)...]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14657&post=251723 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 16:00:01 +0100 Reply by GangsterAlgot https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14657/page-2/?recent=251723#post=251642 Quoted from trams

And hats!!! trading cards and hats!! this is gonna be sooooo great!!!! OMG! and medals! trading cards, hats and medals for all!!! we are gonna get like 950 teams!!! ehhhrm, maybe not but I think with a good planned and executed competition we are going to see the tf2 community grow, and I think DH summer is the right place to start, DH winter is larger but then we have lots of other popular games to compete with(and I have heard that foreigners rather go to Sweden in the summer when girls have less clothes:))]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14657&post=251632 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 14:17:01 +0100 Reply by ashkan https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14657/page-2/?recent=251723#post=251581 Quoted from Darn

Good thing he created this thread then, so you can combine the effort. As tramsig said, we've discussed it for a couple of days. When asking robin this morning, he naturally confirmed valve will help out with prizes and whatnot. Support from the whole community is definitely needed to make this work, and cooperation between swedes and outsiders is almost essential. I don't know what I would be able to help out with (except spam robin as always), and I'm sure you guys are on top of it. Still, if anyone needs a place to stay or anything, just hit me up, since our villa is located about 5 minutes from dreamhack. Also, Racio coming is a requirement!! <3

Thing is, you can't expect the top teams to attend all the lans. February - WASM, March - MAXLAN, April - i42, Summer - DH (if this works), Antwerp Esports Festival, i43, Summer Assembly. That's 7 lans in 7 months. I'm not even counting the slightly smaller lans like the epic.LAN.

then attend the lans which are most important for the growth of TF2]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14657&post=251572 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 13:13:41 +0100 Reply by ashkan https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14657/page-2/?recent=251723#post=251569 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14657&post=251569 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 13:11:05 +0100 Reply by evd_- https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14657/page-2/?recent=251723#post=251565 Quoted from dauk
