tickets now available at https://basestack.gg/dortmund/uberfest-2024/
Hello everyone,
we have received a lot of valuable feedback from your side over the past few days and would like to thank you for your enthusiasm! Working through your feedback has made us realize that we have had some critical misconceptions regarding the planning of our event.
Before we get into details, some initial points:
- We are looking forward to meeting the best players of the scene in November. However, this does not mean that the event only caters to these teams. Everyone who plans to attend ÜBERFEST will be welcome.
- There are enough tickets left! Our first ticket wave consisted of just over 50% of the venue’s player capacity.
- We are still hoping to expand the number of PCs and rooms available for ÜBERFEST 2024
And now the details
- We are working with a big event team, so to avoid misunderstandings in the future, all further official communication will come from the following people. If you want talk privately with us, please open a supportticket
• be_gideon and be_benni from BEING ESPORTS
• DCS as head admin
• JMaxchill in a supporting role
• Wiethoofd as lead production
- ÜBERFEST 2024 has no affiliation with poLANd.tf. The fact that ÜBERFEST takes place at BaseStack Dortmund is 100% coincidental; BEING ESPORTS has hosted different events there before.
- The biggest, underlying mistake we made was severely underestimating the sheer number of people interested in playing at our event. As the Head Tournament Admin, I take full responsibility for that. As a result of our team not taking poLANd.tf into account, we were operating under the impressions of previous events like RCADIA and Insomnia, both events with participation numbers that we can easily accommodate.
To make ÜBERFEST the best possible experience for everyone, we will:
- exclude 6 team tickets from the second wave of sales to provide prem level teams with an opportunity to participate with their strongest rosters. If you are a leader of a team interested in playing in the invite bracket at ÜBERFEST, please DM DCS on Discord.
- hold an online qualifier for the invite group if more than 6 eligible teams reach out. The open tournament will be just that: open for anyone, on a first come first serve basis.
- delay the second wave of ticket sales for now. Details will be published later.
While we want top level competition every “customer” of the event will be seen as equal. We will under no circumstances force or ask anyone who bought a ticket to refund or sell theirs to another player.
Despite the challenges that we have faced, we believe that this event will be a success and hope to continue working with BEING ESPORTS and you in order to improve for hopefully many events to come in 2025 & beyond!

Helpful information for travel and accommodation:
Adress of the Venue:
BaseStack
Kampstraße 1
44137 Dortmund
Germany
- by car
- It is possible to drive right up to the main entrance of the venue. Parking is not allowed there though. In the near vicinity there are several car parks. Ranging from 10-20€ fee per day. Many hotels offer a parking spot with the stay that are often cheaper than the parking lots or even free! Make sure to ask at your hotel!
- by train
- By train you should book one to Dortmund Hauptbahnhof (Hbf), i.e. Dortmund Main Station. There are ICE routes from basically all directions of Germany. From Dortmund Hauptbahnhof it is a 12 minute walk to the venue.
- by plane
- The two closest airports are Dortmund (closer, but less frequented) & Dusseldorf (~1h by train to Dortmund Main Station). Nevertheless there are trains going to Dortmund from other airports as well (e.g. Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich, Hanover) but are a 3-5h train ride away.
There are 3 hotels that are recommended by Being Esports:
- Prizeotel
cheapest option - approx. 5 minute walk to the venue - quiet und good value
- BaseCamp
Hotel right next door (20 second walk) - neat, clean rooms and good breakfast
- Hotel Unique Dortmund
affordable 4 star hotel - 10 minute walk to the venue - very close to the train station - fairly luxurious
Other options are available, but have not been tested.
