update: our full line up of talent now includes-

eXtine, kaidus, getawhale, ma3la, truktruk, the fragile, bren, dreamboat, mr. slin, with observers mathsad and tino

this is a top tier lineup and we're very excited to see you in 2 weeks!

Sucks that this overlaps with the ELEAGUE Major; hopefully viewer numbers won't be badly effected.

the return of ma3la, thefragile, mathsad PogChamp

meat$.ma3la????

So it's 2 minutes times 2 per team = 8 minutes of paused games guaranteed for each map + the usual LAN delays?

Don't get me wrong timeouts are a great idea, especially for casters, but doesn't that make for a lot of dead time?

nothing guarentees that each team will actually use their pauses (or the full duration of them) and even in your hypothetical worst case scenario it's still not the worst thing in the world
esea allows you to pause for 5 mins each half (iirc) but that doesnt mean every game is delayed by 10 minutes due to arbitrary pauses
in the grand scheme of things 2 minute pauses are a non issue
also its not like the casters just get to take a time out for 2 minutes, they still have to keep talking about nothing for the duration of the pause

Last seen finishing 2rd in ESEA Season 20 as Team SoloUber,

I hope Kaidus will do some casting in addition to analyst desk

no, meat$. sideshow

ye not as a caster tho, hes just spectating/doing interviews for dashners documentary

If I bring my own 144hz monitor will I be able to safely leave it somewhere on the venue while I'm away or will I have to lug it around with me. Also if I'm playing in the open tournament will I have a PC reserved for the whole lan or just when I'm playing. Sorry if the answers are obvious, this'll be my first lan.

no one steals monitors, at least not at iseries

insomnia has security though, not sure about ESA

It's good to ask! This is a little different as usually for lans you pay for a seat and rent/bring your own pc, we provide the pcs so it's new.

You can leave your monitor at the front desk and we can keep it while you're away (there's always someone from the arena at the front desk), also I've inquired and we can keep it for you overnight. If you bring your own, we'll try not to move you during the tournament- given how few teams have signed up for open it's fairly likely no one will have to move. Once the tournament's over and they become free-play pcs you may want to leave a jacket or something on your spot so someone doesn't sit down, all pcs will be fair game after open is done.

hey i'll be at this lan

if anyone can pick me up or figure out other transportation options around 2:15pm LAX on the Friday that would be swell, please send me a direct message

NRG competing at this lan is a total meme. Clockwork going to this lan to watch as a spectator is plausible and possibly not a troll .

I'm just hoping that Jasmine places higher than 4th for once :D

b4nny to cut freestate before the first match for cw

I am not trolling. If anyone will be picking others up from LAX on Friday at ~2:15pm or is planning to shuttle, please let me know and contact me through tftv

clock who you playing for tho, for real

not playing

Hey ClockWork Can You Please Play it Would Mean The World To Us :)

i've been caught

i was thinking about putting the time in to play again so i could mount a grand comeback and win the open tournament so i could use that cred to start a new invite team with aspiring players and finally escape the hell that is overwatch

Holy pogchamp
