Florida Lan is back for 2015

The time has come, it is quite clear, the time to LAN is almost here.
Flan.tf

Hey guys, I'm happy to announce that we have an official date of May 16th 2015 for FLan 2015 (Possibly Season 1? ;D). I have spoken to many different groups in venues and am glad to announce that the awesome guys over at Apocalyptic Gaming Center will be hosting the festivities for us. All the issues we had to deal with at FLan 2014 will not be an issue this time around as I have learned from my many mistakes.

FAQ:
Q. Will this be a multiday event?
A. No

Q. Will there be 6's?
A. No

Q. Will there be medals handed out?
A. Yes!

This will be a 1 day event that will be starting at 11am. Without a doubt in my mind the HL event will take up the whole day. Should for whatever reason we finish up HL early we can easily set up some 6s pugs for fun. I will be speaking with the Custard Council this weekend to get the map pool ready but I would really like to see some older maps that have not been seen in a few seasons brought into the mix as well. As much as I like Lakeside I'm sure plenty of people are sick of playing it season after season.

The website will (hopefully) be live this weekend. With the website launch there will be 2 lists available for everyone to see.
1) The Players who will be attending (Steam names)
2) The Players who want to attend but have yet to register

Unlike the first FLan this time around there will be online registration and payment. It'll keep things a lot more organized. All you have to do when you complete your registration is keep a copy of your paypal receipt and bring it with you at the day of the event. Raffle prizes are coming back along with the addition of two MVP prizes (MVP for First place and Runner up teams). Lot's of stuff being released this weekend, looking forward to it, and looking forward to seeing you all at FLan 2015!

Much love,
Miggy

holy shit, Id love to go, Ill probably bring cloridium.

Also, why is it a HL exclusive? There aren't many TF2 Lans period, I think it would be kinda silly to possibly alienate people from showing up.

I'd rather not jinx it. I've been trying to get a venue in Central Florida for a few months now.
Thank you for the offer, currently I don't need assistance but I'll let you know if that changes.

The last FLan in Pompano Beach as promised to be a 6s and HL event but due to many factors this was changed to a 6s only event last minute and it bummed a lot of people out (Myself included). I felt that I owe the players the HL event I promised them last year.

Depending on the setup for the new venue, this could be a lot better than last year. Hoping for some good news in that regard

Also, I think that it specifically being HL makes no sense, because the other one was supposed to be for both, and had to be 6s only due to a problem, not focused on it, and I think a HL only LAN would exclude some players, it should be both from my perspective.

I would love to go to a Highlander-focussed LAN, but Florida is too far for me, heh. Best of luck to you, Miggy, and I hope you pull off the best LAN ever!

Money.
Nothing is ever free, venues want to be paid, and I do not believe running a fundraiser for a LAN would be very successful since there already is a fee just to participate.
The amount of players was the primary reason the other event got turned into 6s only but the other reason was time & money. I cannot afford to rent out a venue for 2 days out of pocket.

I'm shooting to have this event go down May 9th

Maybe have highlander games as a focus but 6s during any downtime? I feel like when you have 18 gamers at the same time, you can also have 12. May 9th is my last day of finals but I will try making it out since I live in Georgia and wasn't able to make the Atlanta Lanfest in 2013. Carpool anyone?

Me and 2-3 other players live in Savannah, GA, I'd be down to go depending on when it is.

Need to get a count down of who all is for certain going.. I'm really close so I will be there for sure just because I haven't been to a Lan since Frag4.
