This is an ongoing discussion, and one where we hope to have some answers soon. We have alternative solutions in the works so there should be something available for people who don't want to bring their PCs cross-state. Details to come shortly.

Would highly suggest to the essentials team they promote the prize pool so top teams attend the lan (unlike what you did with the recent cup)

Saw the seat map is getting posted Friday, how does that work with regular tables and ultra passes? Is UP seating separate or is it all mixed together?

We'll be pushing Atlanta details very shortly but can answer a few queries right now.

highfiveWait what
Is this real

Yes, Atlanta's 6v6 tournament will have a pool of $10,000. Splits to be confirmed in the next week.

BrockSaw the seat map is getting posted Friday, how does that work with regular tables and ultra passes? Is UP seating separate or is it all mixed together?

To my knowledge, Premium/Ultra are seated in a separate area to the regular tables. I can confirm this with DH, but for now I believe they are separate.

ElectraHeartDo we have any news about rentals?

Right now, rentals are not confirmed although we have worked on securing PCs that anyone with a spectator ticket can use as opposed to the BYOC ticket. Full details of how this will work and who will get access to them should come after we have determined the final situation with having rentals. I know for many this is the key thing stopping them confirming their attendance, so this will continue to be our biggest priority.

fygWould highly suggest to the essentials team they promote the prize pool so top teams attend the lan (unlike what you did with the recent cup)

I admit personal fault that the promotion with the Clash tournament was not up to our usual standards. Despite a couple of tweets and a bumped thread, the gaps in time between the promotions left some time for it to get missed. Rest assured, we'll be communicating a lot over the coming weeks about Atlanta details and improving how you as players can keep up to date with details about ETF events. But for now, the three key areas to check should be:

  1. EssentialsTF Twitter - https://twitter.com/TF2Essentials
  2. EssentialsTF Discord -https://essentials.tf/discord
  3. This thread.

If you have any questions continue to post them here or reach out to a team leader on Discord. We have a couple of events happening in the meantime, with the playoffs of the Community Clash this weekend plus our Jump Tournament
and clip competition as a part of DreamHack Beyond: https://essentials.tf/beyond

Got the top of row j @seat 2 in the ultra / premium side. Lot of seats left in that row and it’s extremely close to the front doors for anyone bringing in their stuff.

At this point, it’s a bit frustrating, for me I’m just gunna buy a laptop and abuse my monitor rental with my ultra pass. But with that in mind, with a 10k prize pot, what is exactly stopping you from confirming rentals so early? It’s killing a lot of potential teams, G6 at true form isn’t showing up, if at all. B4nny isn’t really giving any indication on getting some sorta variation of Froyotech to play, Dan tried doing a spread sheet for teams and the only two listed that seemed fruitful was Portland Burnsiders (not even that, just Great Team Open 2.0 with a 503 tag) and scream trying to make something, but he’s been struggling getting confirmations due to lack of concrete rental confirmations.

I know LA had rentals, what exactly is stopping you guys? And know at this point, it feels extremely late for redemption. A lot of folks my age gotta give notices for work, and a week into October knowing you got god knows what kind of computers, isn’t gunna work.

And in the end, my major concern is what happens with this prize pot when we don’t even have enough teams for a small 6s cup?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

We have been working over the past two weeks to secure some more logistically simple ways of playing in the tournament than hiking your PCs cross-state. Due to supply issues, there will not be PCs available for rental in the BYOC area. The option could be made available but this could potentially cost in excess of $400 which is not reasonable.

Despite this, we have secured a 'Turn-Up and Play' method that should make playing at this event easier (and cheaper!). We have secured PCs for players to use without the need for a BYOC ticket. This will be accessible in the Freeplay Zone and have been guaranteed for TF2 for the entire event, however this is a limited number. The tournament will be adjusted to reflect this capacity and work is being done to ensure that everyone who needs access to a PC has one.

Therefore there are a few details you need to be aware of:

  1. YOU CAN PLAY IN THE TOURNAMENT WITH JUST A 3 DAY FESTIVAL TICKET, NOT A BYOC! This is currently priced at $89 and can be purchased here
  2. If you have already paid for a BYOC and intend to use your own computer, you will still be able to compete.
  3. The tournament is first-come-first-served with a tournament capacity of 16 teams. This can be expanded with high demand.
  4. The guaranteed PCs will only be used for Tournament Play, you would need to use one of the other freeplay PCs any time you are not allocated a tournament PC unless otherwise stated.
  5. Signups will be going live this weekend, if you intend to sign up please do so ASAP! The more teams that signup the more likely we can increase tournament capacity.

Direct any questions here or on Discord, updated the main post additionally.

Frealz this time. Flights booked. Will be bringing hot sauce. Do not want to be bringing hot sauce back home with me, pre-orders appreciated. Will be packing some fresh sauces made with Ghost Peppers in 2oz bottles. Should have the following available: BLU-Banero 5oz, Estate BLU-Serrano 5oz (homegrown Blueberries), MannGo 5oz, Blugarian Carrot/Peach 2oz, BLU-Ghost 2oz, and GhostTropical 2oz. HMU with any questions.

Will also be looking to organize a get together on Sunday night, or maybe Monday afternoon. Need to find somewhere that lets us BYOB so I can share some of this Hop It Don't Drop It from Stormbreaker Brewing. Please eXpress your interest in such an event as I might need to book a space for it, but maybe it'll just be a hotel lobby kinda party.

It should go without saying that players should make sure they have any configs, hud files, p-rec etc on a USB stick or cloud storage (both is good!) so you can set up TF2 quickly at Atlanta.
