It's with a heavy heart that due to rising COVID cases both domestically and internationally, the TF2 tournament DreamHack Anaheim will be cancelled. It is a frustrating announcement to have to make, but the safety of those around us has to take priority. This has been a very recent development and was something we were not aware of or expecting. The North American scene has long waited for a LAN that anyone can turn up to, whether they have took part in the Newbie Drive or have been topping the Invite leaderboards. We really wanted this to be the start, but that beginning has to be put on hold.
For those that have already purchased tickets, I have been assured that there will be full refunds available and we will let you know when this is ready. We will work with them to ensure that anyone that has spent money on this event gets a full reimbursement.
In the meantime we will look into some online events that could be run in its stead. LAN is not off the table, but plans are currently on hold.

Question: whilst it always a good thing about more TF2 LANs is it really a good idea having a LAN 1/2 weeks before Insomnia that has basically been confirmed for next year? More specifically this would most likely stop having the top EU/NA team from attending the other LAN to ensure the highest level of competition.

Yeah, my bad on that one. Currently there are no official dates for Insomnia.

+1, BYOCs start at $118 (the discount code is most likely just eliminating tax) so unless the rental situation improves a lot of people aren't coming to play
RentalsAs of right now, rentals are not available. However we are working with DreamHack to secure some PCs for ad-hoc rentals for anyone with a BYOC ticket. Current estimates of costs will be around an additional $200 on top of your ticket, and I must state this is yet to be confirmed. Once we have an idea of the rental situation we will inform you as soon as possible.

$300 to play TF2 seems kinda high, that's more than half a flight for some of us

I volunteered as a crew member for DreamHack Anaheim in 2020 (general crew member not any game specific) and it was great. I will say volunteering for the event will get you a BYOC pass and spot for free since you have access to all areas as a volunteer if you are still on the fence about paying that fee. They feed you and it's an overall great experience. If you are competing in a game or a tournament they are really flexible with how they schedule you for shifts (at least the position I was in). Just throwing this out here in case anyone is tight on money. That being said, cu@ and look forward to meet some of you.

I want to inform you all that the decision was made to cancel the tournament due to rising COVID cases both domestically and internationally. It is frustrating, but it must be done to protect those around us.
We will continue to work on bringing NA a community LAN that anyone can participate in, but for now plans are on hold.
