Quick update, we have expanded the tournament duration to the entire three days.
Friday: Check-In and Group Stages
Saturday: Final Group Stages, Tiebreakers, Playoffs
Sunday: Playoffs and Grand Finals

There should be PCs available in the freeplay area apart from our allocated tournament PCs so outside of your matches you should be able to play in mixes/scrims, depending on availability.

For those travelling, matches/check-in will be around 2pm-ish so if you are attending I would very much recommend you try to get to the venue in the morning since the queues are expected to be quite long.

We have a few teams signed up now so if you or your team are interested in attending please try to register ASAP. If there is some information you want/need before you officially attend etc please don't hesitate in reaching out to me or on the ETF Discord.

im not personally complaining I just hope you guys expanding the tournament an extra day two weeks before it happens didnt fuck up anyones plane tickets or reservations, like seriously lmao

late cu@

I hate to be negative, but probably not the best decision you could had made at the expensive of people who really committed and pre-planed this. If its even possible you should back peddle from that if you can.

I understand this is a late change, and this was something that we did communicate in the major announcement a week or so ago - that there was the potential (and likelihood) that the event could extend to the three days. The simple reasoning as to why the decision was made now was down to simple logistics.

For us to have the access to the freeplay area for use of a Turn-Up and Play style event for TF2 whilst still covering the range of games ETF is doing it was planned that the tournament would take two days, extending into the night. However this presented us with potential issues with the area being open after expo hours, which would require additional staffing by DH. To remedy this, we had to extend the tournament to run over the three days of the event but contained within the hours of the expo. If this was solely run through the BYOC, this would not be an issue but players fed back to us that BYOC is difficult without rentals or alternatives.

DH Atlanta was always promoted as a three-day event, as outside of the tournament we would still have activities/smaller tournaments planned for people to take part in, its just the main tournament who's duration has changed.

nvm team is complete, cu@

>:)

Quick reminder for teams that have signed up or plan to sign up, please make sure you are in the ETF Discord so that we can get Team Captains access to the tournament channels.

we still need one person for our team, will be allowed to play anything they want just hit me up

In the air omw to ATL (free wifi, ty phone provider), got plenty of sauce packed and 6 tall boys of Hop It Dont Drop It.

I have a few 5 oz bottles for people checking bags/driving but I think most are claimed. I'm tryna not have sauce omw back home, help a brother out.

Flavors: MannGo, eXtremely Tropical (this particular batch was fermented for three months!), BLU-banero, BLU-Ghost, Ghost Tropical and Bulgarian Carrot w/ Peach. The two ghost pepper sauces are eXtra spicy. Bulgarian Carrot is probably the least spicy, others are habanero based.

$10 for 5 oz bottles. $7 for 2oz bottles of my super hot sauces, $6 for the other flavors.

is there an update on the medals

https://static-00.iconduck.com/assets.00/pleading-face-emoji-2048x2048-z5m6xd68.png

So the team and I have had a check and unfortunately these medals were not distributed as of right now. Usually we avoid saying that we would be providing medals until we get confirmation from Valve that the medals would get added to prevent false promises. The fact that they were promised yet no medals were added to the game is a serious error on our part and for that we wish to apologise.

We have contacted Valve to see if they would be willing to add these retroactively so we can distribute them, but I want to say at this point there is no guarantee medals will be available for participants for this event. Going forward we will be making changes to how we plan events to ensure things like this which can get missed does not happen again.

that sucks ass given the assocation with dreamhack and combined prize pool and whatnot lol

We've got confirmation from Valve that they will be adding medals in the next Update for DreamHack Atlanta and the DreamHack Community Clash that took place the month before. When they are added we'll be distributing them as soon as they are available. Massive thanks and shoutouts to Valve (mainly Eric Smith) for being accommodating about this.

this is crazyy given how long ago it was and just replying on a whim, thank you for all your work !
