I set up my server at home before leaving to work. Later on I'll start uploading the stv's and stuff and start handing them to casters.
I've been thinking up some ideas for the next event, so far it looks like I'll be doing the next event completely different from the first two.
The new "Venue" would be a hotel ballroom area so players can sleep upstairs and then carry their gear downstairs to game.
I still have not picked out a City to do this in. More than likely I will be making a Poll to see where peeps want the next showdown to take place.
More than likely I'll be tossing up a GoFundMe page that'll:
Raise money to rent a venue space for a BYOC event
Raise money for prize pool
Keep a log of the players who spend 30 bucks which will be their Entry Fee
If I get a sponsor involved they will have 0 interest in TF2 unless they already happen to do stuff for TF2.
Every PC/Gaming related company I've spoken with has only been interested in loaning PCs out for CSGO or DOTA2/LoL matches.
I will speak to various TF2 community groups and see if any of them would be interested in helping out with the TF2 prize pool.
These details may change in the coming months.
I need to take a short mental break away from this for a few weeks so I can focus on my plugin and this upcoming season :P.
