S4mskiIf there is a specific TF2 zone and I am assuming this is closer to the production area - is there a risk of teams hearing casters if they're close by?
There is a small risk, but as far as we know at this moment the layout will mean that any speakers are positioned offset from players so we aim for this to not be as big of a problem as say on the Esports Stage. We also don't tend to be nearly as loud as the stage can be.
S4mskiAlso would be interested to see how you plan on prioritising which teams get to use the free PCs? - e.g. if every team decides to use the TF2 zone to save costs on rentals how will you play all the games if only 3 matches can be played at a time?
With good schedule planning! We'll be implementing a rotation system like we did with DreamHack Atlanta. Schedule will be released at a later date.
