hey!
as promised, we are coming back with the TF2 LAN event many of you has awaited for - poLANd.tf 2025.
it's going to happen in BaseStack Łódź once more and the event date depends on your responses on the interest form
we are going to stay with the signup format where whole teams sign up; be believe this will be the best outcome for the event as a whole
as of now, we are capable of hosting 14 teams, however i've been told that there is a very high chance this will be increased back to 16 or event more (depends on the way BaseStack handles the situation), the spectator cap will be changed, so most likely up to 70 people could come (that is going to be confirmed soon)
the basement space in the venue has been repurposed and now it's going to be a go-to place for spectators, with a bar inside
ticket prices will be higher: 400 PLN for players and 70 PLN for a spectator; the reason of them being higher is BaseStack having operational costs bigger and us wanting to have some prizepool guaranteed for the tournament (we are looking for sponsors anyway so we can make it even bigger!)
the idea behind the event remains: it's to make it as much competitive as it can be, encouraging the best players to come and let them prove that they are the best
my biggest wish related to this event is that we could host an intercontinental competition and we are happy to invite the best teams from different regions to participate against the best players we have in the EU region (if you are an invite team and you want to be a part of the event, DM me @suprovsky on Discord)

we are also raising funds for the event organization; as you know, all the events we make are entirely crowdfunded in terms of operational costs, together with our current balance we will need around 5200 PLN in order to cover expenses we expect (we are transparent with it, you can see the details [url=https://finances.poland.tf]here[/url])
we appreciate all donations, big and small as all of them make us able to make this event happen
