First and foremost, massive shoutout to Faust for actually driving me to the venue. Wouldn't of even got to experience the lan without him driving me there. He's a legend that drove an insane fourteen hours to pick me up and for also driving our team anywhere we needed to go. God bless and thank you Faust.

Shoutout to Playmo and Tojo for playing for our team when other people couldn't unfortunately make it, thanks guys :)

Shoutout to Tojo again, beelthazus and Jert for being genuinely some of the nicest people I've ever met in real life and cheering me up when i felt super bummed out

Shoutout to SpaceCadet and Tery for being cool with taking a picture with me (and to bear for taking it)

Shoutout to Meyy for talking to me for an insane amount of time during the after party so I wouldn't feel so out of place

Shoutout to John Milter for being one of the funniest people i got the chance to meet

Shoutout to my team, fabulous, reflecto, playmo, tojo and faust, i love you guys and am very proud of how we played

Shoutout to the casters who took the time to cast the open tourney, you guys rock

Finally, Shoutout to everyone who actually organized the whole thing so i got to experience my second lan in four years

cu@ rgb3

Hello all! You might not really know me because I'm not really a big person, but I wanted you all to know that I'm very thankful to all those who came and chatted with me. You were all super duper sweet and it was cool to meet people! I have some shoutouts I wanna give so plz keep reading

• Console - You were so super duper fun to be around, and definitely made the lan a lot of fun. You're also really cool for casting matches and giving up your seat for my (was our) team to be able to play. Also you're nuts at guitar hero!
  
• Murkscribe - Holy mother of funny. You were beyond funny, and definitely made my nights a lot more entertaining (go away bear im a child)
  
• BLANC Esports - You definitely made me feel a lot better playing this game, and were awesome people to play against. Also, Bear and Tery you're too nice aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
  
• Boxcar - Thank you for hugging me while i was having a panic attack, you're so sweet aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
  
• Beel - You were friendly to my dad and were super chill.
  
• DubThink - You rock. I had a great time talking to you and meeting the man behind the medals.
  
• My team (froot loops) - I love every single one of you. You guys were so much fun to play with, and definitely helped give me that drive to improve again.
  
• Yari - Thank you for being around me the entire time, making me feel safe and welcomed. You may think you're bad at medic by my heal stats beg to differ. Thank you for driving me back to my hotel and walking me to my room when i was really upset. Also, your hats are comfortable, and your hedgehog was fun to carry around. Finally, thanks for taking me to BWW, and being sweet to murk and taking him too (and talked to me in the car).

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I MISS LAN

Shoutout to Beel, yari querty, chompa, and TheRealWiener for being super friendly and fun to talk with.
Shoutout to Jaguar for chatting and watching the lower and grand finals with me.
Shoutout to kami for driving me all over the place and being super fun to talk with.
Shoutout to my team (boxcar, kami, Murk, Jert and fireborn) for being awesome and fun to play with even if we didn't win anything.
Shoutout to boxcar for organizing our team even with a lot of rl stuff going on.
Shoutout to Murk for being way more entertaining and energetic than I could imagine.
And a big shoutout to all the people that made this event and the tf2 tournament possible.

Everyone at lan was awesome, I had a lot of fun meeting a whole bunch of people, and had a great time at my first lan! Hope to cu@ rgb3.

Shoutouts to friday pugs, one of my highlights of the LAN. Honestly, everyone was extremely nice and I wish I had more time to hang out with and meet people. I only got a chance to talk with a couple people for most of the time I was there, but it was still extremely fun, and I'm very much looking forward to having the opportunity to do this again in the future.

CU@

Back home. What a weekend. Sorry not sorry for the essay. I'm a TFTV writer after all!

RGB 2018 SHOUTOUTS
Shoutout to TheFragile and shdwpuppet for their work during the whole tournament. This was my first LAN and it ran as smoothly as it could have (at least in my inexperienced participant perspective). I'm sorry I didn't give you a handshake and hug this morning Fragile, didn't know you'd be gone when we got back. Next time! :3 Shoutout to Console for running the stream and being the first TFTV Staff member I've met in person. Wish I could've seen him work the stream live but I'll just have to watch the VODs later.

Shoutout to the rest of BLANC Esports. Will try and keep this brief ha. brian for being the PC genius he is and also the extra computer he got for msh / bear. hedge for being a wonderful person and hilarious (lightweight) drunk - and who could forget that fabulous hair oh my. nite for coming out of retirement just to play cap bitch Scout and also the shrooms which I'm sure a few people enjoyed. And of course SpaceCadet for being the awesome 39 year old gamer and teammate he is. Super glad we got to meet in person after nearly eight seasons together. I'm proud we all got to do it up on LAN. Hopefully with a full, normal lineup in the future!

Shoutout to msh because he got stranded in Boston on like Thursday trying to get to LAN from Ontario. The weather was being a real jerk. He wasn't able to head back home until earlier today I believe. Please come to (another) LAN - hopefully with not shit weather conditions - so I can give you a big hug and drink / eat a meal together.

Shoutout to bear AKA kkktookmybabyaway AKA Cronjington Magoo for stepping in as our 6th player and being a poverty goofball. His Best Buy mic was so fucking bad lmao but his Pyro gameplay was immaculate. It was great hanging out and chatting about life, TF2, whatever. Plus he only said "Cronjington Magoo" like seven times the whole weekend which was honestly less than I predicted. Shoutout to bear's Philosophy professor for rescheduling his exam so bear could join us in the weekend of degeneracy. Without him being here and brian supplying an extra setup we might have been screwed.

Shoutout to faust for driving approximately a million miles and a million hours, especially on Friday what with the disgusting storm we got on our way to the venue. He got so many people to and back from LAN safely. An upstanding individual and my pick for MVP of RGB 2018 without a doubt.

Shoutout to Billysaurus for my first LAN death on Medic being via reflect rocket thanks to his Pyro shenanigans. Gonna check my POV because I think I died with triple digit HP. Fuck you for that one, by the way. XD

Shoutout to tojo for programming the Roaming Soldier class but also being extremely chill throughout the whole weekend. Just an overall funny, down-to-earth kinda guy. We're in our Airbnb drunk and watching retarded meme videos, tojo shows up and is like "hold my beer I gotchu." Was a pleasure to meet you and hangout dude.

Shoutout to brulee for coming up to hang out with us this weekend being a good sport while we all did extremely dumb shit like watch proto memes and laugh at frag videos. Oh and watching Black Panther with me, bear, and ether despite having seen it already. What a sweetheart.

Shoutout to John Milter for having the strongest handshake on planet Earth, probably.

Shoutout to chompa for having devastating pipes and stickies that terrorized my teammates and pretty much everyone else at LAN. Hey Open, y'all better not be sleeping on this girl, for real.

Shoutout to everyone! You guys and gals were great and it was awesome to see faces to the various names in our community as well as meet new ones. I was actually battling headaches / nausea sporadically during the weekend so I apologize for not being as friendly as I should have. Nonetheless I'm glad I finally got to experience a LAN. RGB was a blast and I'm definitely attending another one in the future. Seeyou at Rewind III and / or RGB 3. For those still driving, get back safe. Rest up and God Bless.

I just got back to my dorm, time to write up a whole list of shoutouts

Shoutout to the tourney organizers for a great LAN. I greatly enjoyed playing/being at the venue, even though I was only there starting Saturday afternoon.

Shoutout to sparkle gang for giving me a team to play on (and hey, we won LAN :D). Special shoutout to mirrorman, I've known you ever since I started playing this game competitively, and we finally met up :)

Shoutout to BLANC, I loved hanging out w/ all of you (never got to talk to Space much; next RGB hopefully that will change). Wish I could've been at the airbnb, that sounded like a lot of fun lol

Shoutouts to TheRealWiener and brian for letting me use their setups throughout Saturday. You saved me from having to play on my 60hz laptop, so thank you so much for that. Also thanks brian for letting me play osu on your spare setup

Shoutout to brulee for coming with me, bear, and Tery to watch Black Panther (even though she had already seen it). It was great meeting you at Rewind and it was great seeing you at RGB too. Also thanks for staying w/ me until my Uber got here, having to wait outside in the cold would've been awful

Shoutout to tojo for probably being the nicest person I met at RGB. Really fun to talk to you in-between matches and at the cheeseburger place, wish we got to talk more. Also I'm really surprised that you and nite never got caught with those glasses, the people there were staring at us so much lmao

Shoutout to vari, I think I've known you second longest out of the people at RGB (almost as long as mirrorman actually) and although we didn't talk much you were really nice and I wish we got to play LAN osu

Shoutout to billysaurus for playing pyro and subbing in for me while I was getting to LAN

Shoutout to everyone I met and everyone I didn't meet. beel, reimu, playmo, murkscribe, fab, faust, meyy, jert, reflecto, boxcar, sorry I'm probably forgetting people, it was great talking w/ all of you and I wish I had an opportunity to talk more/talk to more people. The instant I got to LAN, I was told that I was playing and then I was forced to play for almost 7 hours after that, wish I had more time to get to know more people :(

Shoutout to msh who bought like 2 bus tickets and a last minute one way plane ticket only to get stuck in Boston on layover after his second flight got cancelled all in an attempt to get to RGB. I've never seen a man get cucked so hard before, and it was on his birthday too. :(

Shoutout to American Airlines for cancelling 3 of my flights and delaying another one on my way to get here

I was so fucking tired when I got home I just slept, but to be fair I decided to stay up and not sleep.
After all knowing jaguar fiend for a year now, It was pretty cool and awesome seeing him and knowing him in real person. Online personality is nearly the same as you are with real life, and the same could be said for glop. Appreciate it, when you guys let me sleep at your place for real cheap, and buying me breakfast afterwords, so props to glop.
All those parties I missed out on seemed super lit, and I'm little bummed I missed out on them, but now I know the common senses of where the party is going to be at. cause they seem real fun to be in.
Shoutouts to KAMI for driving me to places, since I couldn't drive myself and appreciate it when you took to eat at that Guatemalan place.
Shoutouts to those Detroit/Canadian couple that were like super chill, and smoked me out in the dead of the night and out of apple, Dominic if you reading this, real cool person and a nice one at that as well and hope you can rest easy now.
Shoutouts to the sparkle gang and the crew making delicious baked goods that will give me heart disease and obesity with the amount of sugar in it. And shoutouts to Stochast1c for being such a cool and chill guy while giving a bunch of tips as well.
Shoutouts to Bear for being a chill guy and a chill guy at that. I don't know know what else can I say?
Shoutouts to Brulee for being such a awesome and fun person to talk to, It's like I know her even thought we never talked to each other personally online before.
Shoutouts to my Fireborn, for giving me a ride for practically nothing and just being a real cool person to talk to as well. I really hope we can meet again in 7 months time.
Shoutouts to Beel for being such a funny personality and just a great person to be around overall, I hope we can share a drink or two next time in LAN. and also having great casting as well.
Shoutouts to Spyromancer for letting me tryout his vr headset, that superhot game is real lit bro.
Shoutouts to Console, Yari and Chompa for being real cool people and enjoyed it when we went out to Buffalo Wild Wings for some food.
Shoutouts to my team even though we just got destroyed by all the other teams in the group stages, wish we would have faced chompa's team at least.
Shoutouts to emkate ultra for being a real cool person to talk to and just really fun as well, the land of philly is a great place ain't it eh?
So many more people to thank, but honestly I don't have the skills like tery to write so much crap, but I enjoyed it and had a great time at lan. Cya in 7 months maybe potentially.

BTW here are all the group pictures that DrShadowPuppet took, i only uploaded the two best ones imo

Lets see if I can drive back to RGB3 <3

first off i'm super sorry if I forget to mention you in this post.. i was incredibly surprised and taken off guard to have literally ONLY positive experiences all of rgb. i've never met so many kind and considerate people in one building it was ridiculous.

s/o to

everyone on my team, you guys should already know how much I care about you all so i won't bother going into too much more detail, lan wouldn't have been the same w/out you all. although i don't think i'll ever let fab drink rum again, whoever had to clean our room out sunday had their work cut out for them.

tojo for making me feel welcome from literally 30 seconds into walking into the venue. you're one of the most down to earth people i've met in a long time and it's a shame we didn't get to hangout more.

finally everyone for playing and the production crew for making rgb possible

Kind of went overboard with mine but felt it was necessary. This might've been my first BYOC LAN, but it sure as hell won't be the last! Hoping to catch i63, RGB 3, and UberJam before the year closes out. Also appologies for the formatting for bold/italicization/strikeouts, originally intended to post the text directly to tftv but it's about double the max character length.

I'm going to the next one if it means I have to fuck a hole through my wallet....
Shoutout to Fragile and Shadowpuppet. Literally nothing would be possible without them and they continue to put on quite a show, they deserve my(along with every TF2 players') praise and gratitude even if I wasn't there this time.
Hoping that everyone that attended RGB for their first time will be there alongside me for the next one.

Not the finest LAN footage I've gotten compared to my previous GXL 2014 and 15 videos but that's because they kept the lights off ALL the time at this event :( Oh well at least you can enjoy some shots of the highly photogenic Murkscribe. It was a blast meeting tons of the people who I've known online for so long. Thanks everyone!

i appreciate that there is gonna be an rgb 3, hopefully i dont get stuck in a snowstorm on a highway for 9 hours next time (even though i was only gonna chill on friday but STILL)
s/o sam for being the realest, hope to see you next time kiddo
