LHTF2 LAN Update #4
LAN is only a few days away and people are already starting to arrive in town in anticipation for the event. Many players and teams will be around the venue starting Thursday and Friday evenings before the event for scrims, so if you’re in the area feel free to swing by early! If you plan to post event discussion, pictures, etc. on social media be sure to use hashtag #LHTF2
Event Schedule and Format
https://i.imgur.com/0HQKLFg.png
Doors open for check-in at 10:30am PST. Teams that are competing will need all 6 of their players present in order to check-in. Following check-in, players will immediately have photos taken and sign the event mousepad and then be directed to their assigned PC row to begin setting up and preparing for their matches.
The Swiss group stage matches will begin at 12pm PST. To accommodate scheduling and to improve the average quality of matches for participants, the top 3 teams from RGL S7, froyotech, Witness Gaming and Like A G6 have been granted a bye through the group stages, and will not play until the elimination stage. The top 5 teams from the group stages will join them in the elimination bracket and in the prizing. With this adjustment, every team will have a dedicated PC row and will not have to rotate setups during their tournament run.
The Elimination stage matches will begin at 5pm PST. The qualifying 8 teams will play through a double elimination bracket. Note that the first couple matches in the elimination bracket will be BO1s, then the remaining matches will be BO3, until the BO5 grand finals (1 map advantage to upper bracket finalist). By the end of the first day only 4 teams will remain in the tournament and the first grand finalist will be known.
While PCs will be mostly occupied during the tournament on Day 1, they will become much more available for drop-ins on Day 2 as only 1 match will be ongoing at any time, but they will be first-come-first-serve.
We will need the cooperation of all players in order to make things run as smoothly as possible. Should we be ahead of or behind schedule we may adjust things day-of as needed, and in worst case scenarios will resort to issuing forfeits if teams delay matches. Players should stay in communication with reno as much as possible during the event to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Map Pool
RGL’s S8 Invite map list will be used:
cp_snakewater_final1
cp_gullywash_f6
cp_sunshine
koth_product_final
cp_granary_pro2
cp_process_f9a
koth_bagel_rc5
cp_metalworks_f2
cp_prolands_rc2ta
News Posts
We have an official TeamFortress.com news post here: https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=124596
The event was featured in an article by the esports news outlet Upcomer: https://www.upcomer.com/after-nearly-four-years-team-fortress-2-returns-to-lan-this-weekend/
What’s Left?
We want to have as many matches streamed/casted as possible, so we are still coordinating with a few production teams to secure coverage, with details coming soon. We also have one more sponsor to announce soon. Otherwise everything is pretty much figured out.

LHTF2 LAN Conclusion
This was an amazing event! Thank you to everyone who attended, competed, tuned in to the streams, posted pictures, contributed to the prize pool, and of course thanks to Localhost and the RESUP crew that helped run the event including RaosCometh, AvoidJoker, moof, exa, reno, and Dolphin.
Final Team Standings
1st. froyotech
2nd. Like A G6
3rd. Witness Gaming
4th. RoS HNJ
5th/6th. Ford Gaming, Penguins in 3D
7th/8th. aLAN Gaming, Lexus December To Remember Event

11th. FireUP Esports
Prize distribution is currently being sorted, so please bear with us as we coordinate with Localhost to get that done. We may require some additional information from teams to deliver prizes, so please keep an eye out for a message in case we run into any issues.
Raffle Winners
The winner of the Unusual Disco Beatdown California Cap was Zachary W, and the winner of the signed XL Localhost Mousepad with signatures from all competitors at LHTF2 LAN was Elena Manetta. They were both extremely generous with their contributions to the prize pool so it was only fitting that they each won prizes. I will be reaching out to the PayPal email addresses provided in order to coordinate the delivery of your prizes.
Feedback
As great an event as it was, especially considering it was the first RESUP LAN, it was admittedly not perfect. If you have any feedback about any aspect of the tournament, please share it with us here on the RGL Forums (lmao) event post so we can use it to improve our events in the future.
