Just want to clarify, gemm is right about the message being a little off and the wording of it "being cancelled for a third time". This isn't entirely accurate as the LAN was never confirmed or even on for a third time for us to cancel. Probably could have worded it better, but people hopefully understand the message that is being sent regardless.

what did tyrone promise yz50 s8 if hed replace cringe at lan

Water falling from the sky

Hey guys, I know this isn't the most ideal situation, since the success of the Rewind LANs, organizing another TF2 LAN in the Los Angeles area has been an ambition for many in the community. While support for such an event remains high, there are significant obstacles community organizers must overcome in order to host a successful tournament. We have tried our best to salvage what we can, but considering the time frame that has been placed on us, any event that we could run would not be at a quality that can justify the costs. Although we do have options, venues we were hoping would be able to work with us have not responded, and the ones that did we don't have the money to crowdfund for. Events that have crowdfunded amounts like $5000 before us, were able to promise higher quality of production and a better experience for viewers than what we would be able to present.Unfortunately, not for lack of trying or lack of support, attempts to salvage the "BeyondTheSummit TF2" event have not been successful and the remaining organizers have decided to cancel the event. The time crunch has only been getting more severe and while there was progress on many of the key issues the remaining problems are too severe to solve before the previously scheduled dates.This is of course not what we had wanted, but many staff can sympathize with the situation, having spent money ourselves to be in LA that weekend. that being said, since many of us will be in the area, we will be trying to organize some activities that means we can all hang out and get to know each other

While this concept for a LA LAN has now been cancelled for a third time, the crew of organizers behind this recent attempt remain optimistic about the future of Team Fortress 2 LAN tournaments in North America. While there are other events under discussion, NA community members can look forward to the inevitable TF2 presence at the unannounced RGB 5 in Philadelphia.

Either of these

Super excited to actually have a possible AAA game for VR. Beatsaber is great and all, but a true high quality game built ground up for VR will really show where the tech can go in the future.

199... err 2020, the year where Half-life and Doom will be some of the most talked about games. What timeline is this again?

This comment is amazing because it manages to piss off Canadians and Quebecois at the same time but for opposing reasons. I love it.

Ban the bow and #bringbackgpit

See you in 3 months when we do this again.

We possibly have teams coming from EU and SEA. BYO isnt viable for them and many of the NA players are not local as it is.

And if we did that I don't think many people would be interested in showing up. Its a catch 22, it needs to be to a minimum level or people will not bother.

BYOC isn't viable for everyone and on top of that you need lighting, cameras, switchers and audio setups. None of that shit is cheap.

There is a certain level of quality expected from the community at this point, and maybe you are right people need to expect less and we should go back to mumblecasts or something. But the fact of the matter is many people will not be happy with that and the event will either be ignored or people will bitch about how its not up to standard. Fucked if we do, fucked if we dont really.

I think you are underestimating what it costs to put on an event to even the small scale people want. PC rentals can cost thousands for 8 teams. Venues are not cheap at all and to rent them out costs thousands. Streaming and broadcasting hardware to stream the event out can cost thousands. Putting on an 8 team event in a warehouse would still probably run you 10-15k before any prize pool or travel expenses.

Because we know how much this event matters and because many of us have already put hundreds if not more into the event we will be pushing to put in on still. I cannot promise anything at this point in time but please know that the people who are still remaining are pushing to keep this shit alive. Look for more updates in the next couple of days.

Well no, there are probably 2 or 3 people that can fill, me being one because I am going to school for fucking TV and live production.

So I ask again, do you want to bitch and blame, or do you want to fix shit.

Yeah well im out almost $500 and people are out thousands AND we have a team from SEA planning on attending. So are people going to throw a bitch fit about how bad everyone is or do they want to try and fix it?

I mean its not dead, want to fill any of those roles? Shits not easy AND on top of that we need to somehow convince BTS that this is still worth it after this. I am already trying to contact people but its not a fucking easy thing to do.
