Reserving the top post, just in case. Maybe I'll convert it into a FAQ.

Or not. I'm too slow

Donate here!

LEGO is a 6s team in Team Fortress 2 and we need your help with going to Dreamhack 2015. We thought doing a fundraiser would be a great way for us to ease the burden of travel while at the same time giving a bunch of stuff back to the community.

Team LEGO has had many forms over the seasons and this season the roster consisted of:
Izon and Sorex on scouts
Dmoule and Josh on soldier
Dr Phil on demo
Condom on medic.

For LAN the roster is slightly different with Helberg, the former LEGO scout through many seasons, on Roamer and also the great Beater who played in season 20/21 will be casting at Dreamhack as well as driving LEGO to LAN.

Just to make one thing clear: We’re going to Dreamhack regardless of the result of this fundraiser. We’re fully committed and have already sorted flights and housing.
This fundraiser is simply an opportunity for you to support your (hopefully) favorite team while getting something cool in return.

Donator Perks
So what exactly can you expect to get in return for donating, other than our eternal gratitude?

- For a measly 5€ you can have a weapon signed by your player of choice

- For 15€ you will get to (kinda) fulfill your dream of playing for LEGO by getting to play with several members of the team in special mixes. It’ll be a blast!

- For 25€ you can get a coaching session / demo review with a LEGO member of the relevant class (Dr. Phil for demo, Josh soldier, Helberg scout / sniper, Condom/Beater/Josh/Phil for medic) and finally learn the secret behind being the worst team in prem!

- For 35€ you get to show off your skills to the world by having the LEGO boys cast your match! Whether we end up doing it live or from a demo, on one of our private streams or on TeamfortressTV, we promise to make it both insightful and entertaining.

- And finally for 50€ you truly get to bask in your own glory by having Beater, the creator of the seasonal ETF2L and ESEA videos as well as his Legacy series, make you a personal frag video in the style of your choosing!

For any further details look at the “perk information” at the bottom of the page.

Fundraiser goal and spending priority
We’re hoping to scrape together roughly 1000€ to cover the cost of housing and transportation

Housing - €154 pp, so 1078€
Gas money: ~80€
Flight cost: ~600€

Paying for housing is our first priority, followed by covering the cost of gas money, which will amount to around 1000€. Anything we receive from then on will go towards covering the cost of transportation, starting with Josh and Sorex’s flights. We've capped the fundraiser at 1500€ since there's no way we'd ever need more than that (and also we don't really expect to receive that much)

Going to Dreamhack to represent our team and showcase TF2 to a larger, new audience is a huge honour and pleasure for us, and we’re super hyped to showcase the labour of all of the hard work and passion that we’ve poured into the game over the years. Also, we’ll finally get to find out whether Josh really is a leprechaun!

Donate at our Indiegogo page!

We really tried to put as much thought as possible into this before posting, but we're only sentient, little LEGO men and we obviously make mistakes like everyone else. If anything has fallen through the cracks or you have any questions or commentary, don't hesitate to let us know by posting a comment and we'll answer as fast as we can. Thanks

Perk Information
Important!

Weapon signings
If you donate for a weapon signing please be aware you must provide your own gift wrap, please give your steam community page URL and the player you want to sign your weapon. After the fundraiser and lan has ended you will then be added by a member of of our team, who will then organise getting your weapon signed.

Demo reviews
The Demo review will be one map but this includes an hour time slot and will include going over individual and team play, suggestions for game play and generally will teach you a lot. The players who are doing reviews include Dr Phil, Josh, Condom and Izon. I recommend going for class specific but most players have also played other classes for example Dr Phil has played medic and Izon soldier.

Casted games
Casted games will be one map, this will be streamed on Dr Phil and Josh’s stream and will probably be using an old demo/stv, however we are also exploring the possibility of offering to cast a live match. If it's an official there is also a chance of this being streamed on one of teamfortresstv's channels, but this is not guaranteed!

LEGO mix
The Mix with LEGO only has 6 slots, this will include playing with at least three players of LEGO in a 6s mix. Or two teams with three LEGO players in each team, that will play each other, 3 LEGO players and 3 perk donators on the teams.

Frag Movie made by Beater
This will be a 2-8 minute frag movie dependent on the amount of frag clips you provide. You can choose a song / songs you would want Beater to use, as well as the title of the video + any other specific request you might have.

The frag clips should be provided as demo files and in a zipped folder. If you purchase this perk please enter your steam profile into the notes and you will be contacted regarding this. Will take at most a month per video with a deadline of 28/12/15 for the first one. You can pick the name used for the video though it will include LEGO, this will be uploaded to Beater’s channel though you can also request the original file should you want this for personal use.

If you still have any questions make a post and we'll answer it ASAP

Does Huhy even care?!

This is still going guys

This whole part until the end of the song

I love the way the camera smashes into the ground

Same movie, another cool transition

This entire video

Freezer's best video

Not a single good new map, only the batsaber skin is even remotely worth getting (please tell me it has the lightsaber whoosh sound) and buying the pass literally does nothing apart from moving your cash to someone else. Pretty disappointing update.

Well, at least the maps look great, they just play terribly.

Hello, I'd like to make some videos for the various Razer cups, but since there's no good way to get my hand on any stv demos, I need your help to do it!

Frags must be from an official Razer Arena event, but that's basically the only limitation that I'm going to put on this. I'm obviously more inclined to use frags from high-level games, but good frags are good frags.

Please use the following format when submitting demos(or something close to it that makes sense): Tick_Name_Map = 66000_Beater_Granpro

What kind of video or videos I end up making depends entirely on on how many quality submissions I get.

New video, starring the German scout who has totally quit the game: smzi!

Because you're all washed up!

The very first stv hero video. It's still awesome!

This was actually the first video I ever made, and I made it because I discovered that windows movie maker had a bunch of pre-made video settings, the result of which is fucking fantastic!

Way ahead of you. Me and a team have already reviewed a large amount of games and noted down ticks. There's still a lot of work to go, but we're making amazing amount of progress. I saw Luke added me on steam, so I'm sure he'll drop me a line if he needs anything

Am I really that crazy for thinking people will actually read the extremely short descriptions? Do you think they'll get the hint if I label "i55 hype video" or something like that?
