This is actually how you end up burning out people who pour their lives and souls into the game.
Dashner is coming from Canada to produce this. Sideshow has put his own money towards this. These people and others have been spending countless hours developing sponsor relationships to make this happen.
This just shits on everything they do.

I love how everyone in the fundraiser was sceptic about something like this happening, you reassuring these people this would never happen and it's the exact move you pull, just lol.

I understand the frustration of the production, and the people who were in contact to even get TF2 at Dreamhack. I would be equally as mad. I organize local TF2 LANs, and I've also been looking for opportunities to grow TF2's LAN presence here in Ontario; but then we get these situations where at the last minute, someone backs out, and it ruins the entire event. Not only for the teams involved, but for TF2's presence at the event as a whole.
If there's one thing that constantly scares me about running TF2 LANs, it's knowing that at the last minute, I could get fucked over, and that LAN, and any future LAN I try to organize is toast. Do you think if I had 6 or more people back out of TLAN at the last minute, leaving me to try and improvise a smaller tournament and event, that Hunter & Lucas (The venue) would have asked me back? Probably not.
This is a prime opportunity, and now it will be ruined by a team who chose not to get their beans organized. Consider it a very good, and sorely lost opportunity.

Just so that you know,
In week 5: Epsilon easily my favourite team in ETF2L, despite not practicing.
In week 6 KnOxXx quit and you got sponsored by #tf2center: Still supporting Epsilon but one of those "god dammit" moments.
Now: You basically fucked over the entire TF2 community, who had worked really hard for TF2 @ DHW (which would have had an epic Reason vs Epsilon final) and now its gonna be one of those tournaments which most people will read the results and not much else, maybe the Youtube VODs over the next 6 months. Gonna have to pick between LEGO, Full Tilt and Reason for my favourite EU team. So sad to see this happen, but seriously screwed everyone over.
Flippy and tek: you guys are still awesome :D
Thanks guys. Please for the love of god come back and actually start trying, make it to i58 etc.

This shit really damages tf2 though like TF2 has always had trouble as an esport but we always had these LANs and we would get some solid viewer numbers as well. When people hear that the "best" team in Europe aren't even going people aren't really gonna care to watch this. We all knew this was gonna be the big Epsilon vs Reason showdown and people were gonna watch this live to see that. Now its gonna be Reason vs an easy lan win in the finals lol
Also numlocked and mike right now https://youtu.be/N1seyAkxO1s?t=15s

It doesn't help that certain people do shit to our big LANs like DHW, like adding new maps only a week or two before the event that hasn't been played in years on end.

Wait you refunded the money? Just go with a mix team, great chance of coming 3rd, maybe even 2nd, get some prize money, keep sponsors happy so that next year we can get the top 4 in EU (or top 4 in world???) to go as they can prepare for it. I was under the impression this was the motivation behind the tournament.

Honestly fuck you numlocked. Refunding is the least you can do and you cant refund the time, hopes and support that everyone has given and more from a select few. I hope this isnt it from your team because Id seriously hope you're a part of fixing the problem youve made. Make a proper apology or something that shows you care not some random comment
