RANDOM WRITEUP TIME
Note that I randomly decided to do this and was not asked to.

TF2 has been played once a year at the Insomnia Gaming Festival for many years in a row, and i61 is just another chapter in that epic saga. Many of the finest airshots, headshots, and matches in TF2 history have taken place at an Insomnia LAN, and despite the doubters I expect this one to be no different. Day 1 will feature the Open and Invite group stages. In the Open groups, 8 winners from 8 groups of 4 will advance to the double-elimination playoffs with the Invite teams. Meanwhile the Invite teams will be playing in their own group stages which will determine their seedings going into the playoffs. After the group stages conclude, Friday night will feature round 1 of the best-of-three playoffs.
That's right folks, tomorrow is stuffed full of the best TF2 action since Rewind LAN, and you can catch it all of the EssentialsTF stream.
More info can be found in the most recent TFTV post and also at essentials.tf.

sad that the prizepool is a lot smaller than last year, can it still grow or does it stay at 5k ?

give me an estimate on how much pot you are going to get away with smoking in the public bathroom, I need these calculations so I can verify my chance of getting super stoned at a major upcoming lan in the public without getting in trouble

$5,000 is only including the base money provided by Multiplay; it's not the final prize pool.
